    SOME INDONESIANS STILL BELIEVE COVID-19 IS A CONSPIRACY: UI SURVEY

    Some Greater Jakarta residents still believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is "a conspiracy formulated by
    the global elites", scholars from the University of Indonesia (UI) have revealed. The scholars, who are
    members of the Cluster Innovation and Governance (CIGO) Research Team, collaborated with Tanoto
    Foundation for a survey to study how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the public in terms of their
    stance toward the economic recession, as well as their buying habits throughout the health crisis. The
    survey was conducted from Sept. 14 to 30 with 772 respondents from Greater Jakarta. UI spokeswoman
    Amelita Luisa said the results showed that 21 percent of the respondents, or 150 people, believed that
    COVID-19 was a conspiracy created by members of the global elite. “Most are from Bogor [West Java],
    or 24.1 percent, and from Jakarta, or 22.5 percent,” she said on Friday as quoted by kompas.com. She
    went on to say that most of the respondents who believed in the COVID-19 conspiracy hoax were aged
    between 25 and 40 years, had a junior high school or high school level education, and a monthly
    expenditure of around Rp 2.5 million (US$175). “This research also found that most of these
    respondents believed that the disease was only dangerous for senior citizens and people with
    underlying conditions,” Amelita said. The study also revealed that some respondents still did not know
    how to wear a mask properly, though they were aware that they had to comply with health protocols.
    “We recommend that the government intensify its surveillance policy, such as tracing, testing and
    treatment considering, that Indonesia continues to record an increasing number of new COVID-19 cases
    every day,” said research leader Eko Sakapurnama. The survey also showed that during the epidemic so
    far, respondents spent more on food and less on the secondary and tertiary sectors, which include
    traveling, transportation, automotive and jewelry. Meanwhile, Indonesia recorded over 4,000 new
    COVID-19 cases on two days in the past week: on Thursday with 4,065 cases and on Saturday with 4,262
    cases. As of Saturday, the country has recorded 433,386 confirmed cases, which include 364,417
    recoveries and 14,540 fatalities. Meanwhile, data shared by the national COVID-19 task force shows that
    many vacationers neglected health protocols during a recent long weekend and as the country entered
    the eighth month of the pandemic. The task force’s data and information technology head, Dewi Nur
    Aisyah, said in a virtual press conference on Wednesday that it had received more reports of health
    protocol violations during the long weekend from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 compared to normal days. The
    reports were submitted by field officers, which comprise the Indonesian Military (TNI), the National
    Police and Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), in 407 regencies and cities as well as each of the 34
    provinces. Based on the data, about 600,000 health protocol violations were recorded at tourist spots
    during the extended break. (dpk)
