In response to the condition, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has taken three steps in the form of greeting infected employees virtually, offering telemedicine services, and issuing a Circular (SE) on tightening COVID-19 protocols, he remarked.
During the virtual greeting, Revianto offered several tips, so that those exposed to the Omicron variant could recover quickly.
To tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, all civil servants in the ministry, especially those who got infected, were urged to remain optimism for recovery, disciplined in implementing health protocols, and to keep praying to God.
