Indonesian President Joko Widodo defended his record of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, asking for no 'polemics' or 'commotion' amid criticism that he is putting the economy over public health.

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo defended his record of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, asking for no “polemics” or “commotion” amid criticism that he is putting the economy over public health.

The government’s handling of the pandemic since March has drawn criticism from some public health experts for prioritising economic over public health concerns. The president, known by his popular name Jokowi, defended his decision not to impose province- or city-wide lockdowns in places where cases continue to surge because he said that would have hurt people’s livelihood.
