By Chaula R Anindya and Sigit S. Nugroho SYNOPSIS President Joko Widodo’s approach in curbing the COVID-19 outbreak has further strengthened the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI)’s role in the country. COMMENTARY FOLLOWING THE declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic as a national disaster, President Joko Widodo (“Jokowi”) has granted the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) a broader authority to handle the outbreak. Doni Monardo, an active three- star Army general who assumed the position of head of BNPB in 2019 before the pandemic broke out, was appointed to lead the COVID-19 Task Force. His position as head of BNPB despite being in active military service is likely to shape the country’s strategy in containing the pandemic. Relying on TNI’s organisational capabilities and networks is aimed at expediting the disaster relief effort to offset the slow response of the civilian authority to the health crisis. TNI’s Tradition in BNPB Leadership Originally, BNPB was not considered a strategic post for an active three-star general.

Currently the airport has the capacity to handle 8,700 passengers per hour, more than 30 million passengers a year and is undergoing further expansion to accommodate more than 50 million passengers.

    3/20/2020 COVID-19 Special Edition #1 - March 15, 2020 Greetings What a difference a few weeks has made in the lives of so many people around the world....... Just a reminder for all of us to keep our front-line healthcare providers; hospital, nursing home, and other organizational staff; and our public health leaders and professionals in our thoughts and prayers as they prepare and are battling COVID-19 on behalf of patients, families, and communities across the U.S. and world. If you have a family member, friend, or neighbor that works on the front-line with patients or residents, think about how you may help them at this time - making a meal for them; taking care of their children or parents; running errands for them; etc. Each of us, as leaders in our communities, can be a valuable source of information to our patients, consumers, communities, employees, and constituents. Each week, we will provide an update on Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19 and provide links to government or health organization infographics you can readily share with others as well as written or interactive resources. COVID-19 Emergency Declaration The President declared the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration for all states, tribes, territories, and the District of Columbia. The Emergency Declaration allows for current laws to be waived such as no charge for COVID-19 testing, treatment, and ability of providers to operate outside of some regulations to address emergency situations with COVID-19 Click Here CDC Guidance on Mass Gatherings or Large Community Events The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided guidance on Sunday, March 15, recommended that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individual) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the U.S.
