pandemic of  COVID-19 caused by severe Model
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was confirmed to have
spread to Indonesia on 2 March 2020,
after a dance instructor and her mother
tested positive for the virus. Both were
infected from a Japanese national. By 9
April 2020, the pandemic had spread to
all 34 provinces in the country.

One way to mitigate the COVID-19 outbreak is
to develop its vaccine and produce it
