IQAir recommends residents to wear masks when outside, close windows to avoid dirty air, turn on air purifiers, and avoid outdoor activities.

"Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) stated that many people in Jakarta are experiencing respiratory problems, such as coughing. Jokowi urged cyclists to use masks due to air pollution."

"The current situation in Jakarta is that many people are coughing. So these coughing people must be from Jakarta."

Because of that, Jokowi invites all parties to plant as many trees as possible and to rehabilitate forests. Especially in the Jakarta area, which still lacks many trees.

"I invite all of us to rehabilitate the forest together, planting as many trees as possible in our environment, especially in Jakarta City."
said Jokowi
