Among them are the progress of vaccination, the death rate, and control of Covid-19 cases. "Soon there will be an evaluation related to the plan to shift the Pandemic to an Endemic. However, some conditions have to be met. One of them is controlling the mortality rate and vaccination rate," said Kapolri.

"Of course, we have to be optimism, especially with strong obedience to the health protocols, we can make it realized," said the National Police Chief.
