He symbolically handed over the donation to national Covid-19 rapid response task force head Doni Monardo at the National Disaster Mitigation Agency’s headquarters in Jakarta on Thursday.Since April 7, the app has also invited its users to show their appreciation for medical professionals by using the hashtag #PahlawanGardaDepan on every uploaded post.
"Together with the government, businesses, NGOs and Indonesian citizens, we commit to doing the best we can. We will survive and eventually rise as a united community," Donny said.
