“Thank God, thanks to the mutual cooperation of all of us, from 12 regencies/cities in 52 regencies/cities in three provinces, the status has entered the transition to the recovery phase. We apologize, however, in Aceh Province there are still 11 regencies that will extend the emergency response status,” said Pratikno in a press conference, Thursday (25/12).
