00:00We have come out of the infectious disease pandemic, especially COVID-19
00:11But we are also affected by another virus, which is called M-pox
00:20As a minister, I am often asked to increase the number of SOPs
00:28God willing, M-pox will not repeat when we are not only live, but also live-in
00:41So don't worry, there will not be anything like what is said as MCOs, lockdown, etc. in the era of COVID-19
00:54But I also want to remind everyone not to be too comfortable
01:00We know the transmission of this virus
01:04And also up to this moment, almost 6 million people have been infected with M-pox
01:13So far, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, we have not yet received a positive case from those we suspected under investigation
01:33All of us are clear, so far we have zero cases of M-pox, Alhamdulillah
01:40People asked for nine cases, up to November 2023
01:45But this next stage, particularly in the variant 1 clip, 1B, we did not witness, Alhamdulillah
01:57However, we want to be reminded that we are out of the pandemic infection disease, we are still facing a pandemic chronic disease
