The good news is that isoman is no longer burdensome because as of March 1, 2022, the length of time for isoman is no longer necessary for 14 days, but only 7 days without symptoms and no need to undergo a PCR test to be declared complete.

This is because automatically, after the Peduli Protect application isoman after 7 days, Covid-19 patients who were previously black will turn green again.

Moreover, currently, in 14 provinces in Indonesia, there has been a decline in the trend of Covid-19 cases, such as Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Bali, NTB, Maluku, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, South Sumatra, North Sumatra, Papua and West Papua.

Nadia hopes that the community can help so that this case does not spike again, and keeps Covid-19 within the threshold that can be handled and observed.
