Government Needs 'Consistency' To Make PPKM Work

The government has insisted it will stick to its multi-tiered public activity restrictions (PPKM) regime until the pandemic is over, but the jury is out on whether the current problems plaguing the system will be ironed out before further COVID-19 spikes occur in the future. These problems, as suggested by epidemiologists, include unreliable COVID-19 data, inconsistent use of health indicators to establish the severity level of restrictions and a laggard vaccination drive. The government decision was announced by Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Pandjaitan along with a PPKM extension for Java and Bali until August 23.
