In situations like this, when the corona virus disease spreads, we still do something that we have done. It's just tightened by the addition of tools and power as seen earlier. Especially for this coming from China, we involved many people. But as we saw earlier, we don't get what we are worried about (finding tourists who have contracted corona). So my message to all, we must calm down and don't panic. Indeed there is a disease (corona), but we do not expect to enter Indonesia especially West Sumatra.
