Although variants of SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) pend this trajectory, the country may be ready now to reimagine its effect on public health systems. Over two years ago, as new variants of COVID-19 emerged, Indonesia's public-health priorities focused on the important missions of getting society assessed, vaccinated, and boosted while maintaining access to healthcare in hospitals. Inequalities predating the pandemic condition were laid bare as historically marginalized communities bore the brunt of the pandemic’s ill impacts. Many healthcare professionals are now redressing vulnerabilities and planning a stronger path forward against infection. To help guide them on this journey, the healthcare provider should set forth four imperatives authorities consider when developing a comprehensive strategy to live with COVID-19. As the transition from pandemic to endemic is on the way, defining the next normal, tracking progress, limiting illness and death, and slowing transmission should be performed massively. Governments have a unique role to play in stewarding evolution by supporting innovative technology to deal with other health issues. The ground, on which this next normal settle, determine whether the lessons during the pandemic are heeded and could create a new habit for public-healthcare systems to emerge more responsive to whatever challenges lie in the future. Finally hope, this pandemic will end soon and people may live normally without any concerns.
