Pandemic minimizers have long used analogies like these, but they've recently made their way into more enlightened circles.

President Jokowi emphasizes the need of worker immunizations


VIRALDOC (Jakarta) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) emphasized the importance of improving immunization of formal and informal workers, as well as their families, in order to create a sense of safety in the workplace on Wednesday.

"Workers must be able to work in a safe setting. As a result, efforts to vaccinate workers and their families must continue to be stepped up "On Wednesday, he emphasized this at the ILO Global Forum for a Human-Centred Recovery from COVID-19, which was available online from here.

In Indonesia, for example, all inhabitants, including workers, are given the COVID-19 vaccine free of charge, he added.

He went on to say that manifesting a safe work environment is a solution to the personnel sector's issues during the COVID-19 epidemic.

According to the
International Labour Organization (ILO),


The pace of health and economic recovery in countries has been unequal because of variances in the attainment of immunization targets and the availability of fiscal stimulus, he added, among the many difficulties that present in the workforce.

"As a result, I am a strong advocate for a human-centered workforce rehabilitation. The 'global call to action for a human-centered rehabilitation' requires commitment "He was adamant.

He asked for stronger social support for workers afflicted by the COVID-19 epidemic, in addition to boosting worker immunizations.

President Jokowi called on countries to collaborate and innovate in order to generate new jobs.

"In the future, we must increase our workers' competitiveness in order to face global problems," he said.

As a result, Indonesia's reskilling and upskilling initiative must be continued, both by the government and by the private sector.
