Increasingly, the number of positive cases of Covid-19 continues to grow. This global pandemic can be suppressed by following a series of appeals that have been advocated by the government. However , not infrequently there are still many people who are stubborn and violate. For this reason, public awareness of the importance of complying with all policies imposed by the government regarding preventing the spread of Covid-19 is urgently needed.
The Mayor of Banda Aceh, Ami nullah Usman, appealed to the public to be obedient and raise awareness by following instructions given by the government.
If the protocol for preventing the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic that is suggested by the government is followed correctly by all levels of society, then there is confidence that this chain of transmission can be stopped immediately.
Awareness that is important for people to obey such as wearing a mask when outside the home or when using a mask is needed. Doing physical in stancing and no crowding. Do hand washing for 20 seconds as recommended by WHO. Not traveling far, and not going home.
The mayor of Aceh stressed the community to obey the rules and follow the government’s recommendations, as this is one of the preventive measures.
President Joko Widodo’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka also appealed to the public to comply with policies set by the government. One of them is the prohibition of going home. Gibran asked the homecoming travelers to hold back overseas and not return to their hometowns. Because this community mobility will prevent the suppression of the spread of Covid-19.
Moreover, there have been many positive cases of Covid-19 without symptoms. People who do not have this style of gej have the potential to transmit the virus to vulnerable people such as toddlers, parents in their hometown.
Since the beginning of Covid-19 declared in Indonesia, the government has issued many instructions related to prevention of Covid-19 transmission. But unfortunately, until two months have passed there are still people who are not obedient and apathetic towards these instructions.
In fact, all of that is based on the benefit of society. Now, the spread of Covid-19 has spread to various areas both cities and villages. Handling is still ongoing and appeals are still being spread.
Seeing the number of positive cases of Covid-19 that continue to increase, is it still able to continue to be disobedient and ignorant?
All levels of society, not only Indonesia but the whole world must work together in combating this Covid-19 pandemic, by complying with every appeal given by the government.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that the Covid-19 outbreak is a global pandemic. Where the whole world experiences it, it is not only Indonesia. The number of victims continues to increase and the spread continues to spread.
If there is no support and care from all walks of life in complying and carrying out government instructions, of course the suppression of the spread of Covid-19 will be quite difficult and requires a long time.
For this reason, it is strongly emphasized to the public to truly comply with all appeals recommended by the government. Everyone certainly wants the Covid-19 pandemic to end soon . Of course good cooperation is needed to face this test. trust and obedience to the government is the key. Also discipline to carry out all recommendations continuously. The point is not to wash hands with soap or wear a mask only once or twice, but is done continuously in accordance with the advice given. There is a high belief that Covid-19 can be suppressed and conquered if the whole community obeys all appeals set by the government. Because it’s the scenario.
