With concerns about the spread of COVID-19 different groups of Indonesians have had to undertake quarantine and observation. Indonesian workers for the World Dream cruise ship were sent to Sebaru Kecil Island in the Seribu Islands to undertake a program of quarantine and observation similar to the one undertaken on Natuna Island by Indonesians who had been evacuated from the COVID-19 epicentre in Wuhan. Representatives for the authorities and the participants describe the program.
Quarantine and observation are not as bad as you might think.
