KONTAN.CO.ID – Indonesian epidemiologist at Griffith University Australia Dicky Budiman said Indonesia should no longer echo 3M as a measure to anticipate the spread of Covid-19.
Reflecting on the explosions after the long holiday, Dicky suggested that Indonesia should now increase its prevention strategy from 3M to 5M, namely moving away from crowds and reducing mobility.
“Mobility, high population interaction, and crowding are proven in the latest epidemiological studies to trigger explosions in cases of worsening pandemic in a country or region,” said Dicky when quoted from Kompas.com (4/1/2021).
