In comments published on indonesia’s Interior Ministry official, Karnavian adds that the scenario in autocratic countries, such as Vietnam or China, is absolutely another because the authority belongs to a handful of others so that policies can be implemented well at the local level.
This “failure” was even accepted through the Nationalcovid-19 implementation group, which demonstrated that major instances in particular are most afraid and that policies to date have not fully achieved the desired results.
