The Successes and Failures in Managing Covid-19 Outbreak in Asia Pacific Region (A Comparative Study of China and Indonesia)

For countries with imported cases and/or outbreaks of Covid-19

• Immediately activate the highest level of national Response Management protocols to ensure the all-of-government and all-of-society approach needed to contain Covid-19 with non-pharmaceutical public health measures;
• Prioritize active, exhaustive case finding and immediate testing and isolation, painstaking contact tracing and rigorous quarantine of close contacts; 
• Fully educate the general public on the seriousness of Covid-19 and their role in preventing its spread; 
• Immediately expand surveillance to detect Covid-19 transmission chains, by testing all patients with atypical pneumonias, conducting screening in some patients with upper respiratory illnesses and/or recent Covid-19 exposure, and adding testing for the Covid-19 virus to existing surveillance systems (e.g. systems for influenza-like-illness and SARI); and 
• Conduct multi-sector scenario planning and simulations for the deployment of even more stringent measures to interrupt transmission chains as needed (e.g. the suspension of large-scale gatherings and the closure of schools and workplaces).

In Conclusion, this global pandemic Covid-19 is very serious problem which is faced by most of the country over the world. Every country has their own policy and action to this Covid-19 but WHO as international health organization also set some standardization of the procedure to this Covid-19. The next step that all the countries is going to do is try to fight this pandemic until it disappears because it has affected a lot in the activities of the human being in the earth until today. So, I hope all countries can support each other to fight this pandemic.
