"We hope that everyone will be healthy despite the pandemic. We can now resume our activities, and everyone has already received their vaccines. Indonesia is healthy," she said, according to a statement received from the Presidential Secretariat here.

Before heading to review the vaccination drive at the District Head Office, the First Lady read stories to students at a local kindergarten.
"I arrived here from Jakarta with OASE KIM members, then we taught local students how to wash hands, told stories to them, and supervised the vaccination drive for local residents," she said.
