We Are Facing The Twin Crisis

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.comPresident Sixth RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said, Indonesia is currently facing a big test, namely the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Today, our country is facing a historical test. We are facing twin crises, one corona pandemic, two economic crises,” said SBY as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat YouTube channel, Monday (17/8/2020).

SBY conveyed this when asked what the Indonesian people should do to pass the Covid-19 pandemic exam.
