Jakarta. President Joko Jokowi Widodo has provided 600,000 packages of free medicine for people infected with Covid-19 in self-isolation on Thursday, kicking off a government-led drive that it hoped would curb wild speculation that drives up prices of critical supplies for the disease treatment.
The medicine package includes vitamins for infected patients with mild symptoms and prescriptions drugs for others with moderate symptoms.
