In the middle of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended. The Indonesian people
are urged to adopt new habitual adaptations so that they can live productively and stay
protected from the transmission of the virus which has claimed more than 500
thousand lives. Currently, the government of the Republic of Indonesia is no longer

term has been changed to "new habit adaptation" or IMR. In this era, people can return
to productive activities, but still apply preventive measures for COVID-19.

necessities, chances are you will meet a lot of people. To prevent transmission of the
