Since March 2020, social restrictions and closure of sea and air transportation access to the Provinces of Papua and West Papua by local governments have been widely applied in all districts. The aim is to prevent and control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Land of Papua. This step is considered quite able to stem the spread of Covid-19 in the Land of Papua.
