During the Covid-19 pandemic, Andry admitted, his salon income had dropped quite dramatically.

"Before New Normal, it was around 80 percent. Now it's only down 50 percent," he said again.

He also hoped that Covid-19 pandemic in Batam would soon be over so that the economy in Batam would return to life.

The results of Rapid Tests showed that 5 employees examined were declared non-reactive Covid-19.
