Reports of the deaths of three children at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Central Jakarta, of suspected acute hepatitis, are truly worrisome. We need to be careful, but we must not panic.

We extend our deep condolences to the bereaved parents. We understand that it is not easy to deal with this situation. Just as we take a breath of relief from the scourge of COVID-19, we now face acute hepatitis, no less frightening. Moreover, this disease attacks children aged 1 month to 16 years old. Mitigation efforts must be implemented immediately so that there are no more victims.
