Due to mass ordering via food courier amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there was concern that the BTS meal may inadvertently lead to a spread in COVID-19. Indonesian publication Detik[14] published an article saying police asked McDonald's to temporary stop selling the BTS Meal for safety concerns. Some McDonald's restaurants in Indonesia were been sealed[15][16][17] by the government in many regions (shown below left and right for example).
