On 14 March, 2020 President Jokowi appointed the Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) the lead agency for managing and coordinating the response of the GOI to the CoVID-19 threat in Indonesia.  The rapidly increasing number of cases being identified has led the GOI and BNPB to begin developing plans to establish a national level command and control structure for coordination, communication and information management of the CoVID-19 threat in Indonesia.  The GOI has not before declared a National Emergency, nor established a National level command and control structure.  At the time of drafting this document, the National EOC is actively being developed and resourced.
