Covid-19 is a disease that is endemic throughout the world, not spared by Indonesia. For this reason, mutual cooperation, resource synergy and strategy from all elements of the nation are needed in facing and controlling the spread of Covid-19.

From day to day the number of positive cases of Covid-19 continues to increase significantly. The number of accumulated cases from this day which caused panic and disagreement occurred outside the context of handling this virus. In fact, it raises political and economic commodities.

Disputes, politicization, and throwing each other off in the face of political contestation are a waste to be eliminated. Trying to control the corona virus is a field of human struggle, not a place to play politics or economics.

Any person or party who makes the Covid-19 outbreak as a political commodity or economic commodity does not need to be ignored. They are just a group of people who do not have human empathy that can take advantage of the public panic.

Let’s look in the mirror at China and Italy in the face of Covid-19. When this disaster hit, the people of China cooperated with each other. Moreover, they are committed to complying with all policies and believe that they can get through it all.

When China succeeded in localizing the corona virus, its people appreciated the medical staff, security officers and volunteers who had participated in the fight against Covid-19.

The Italians are cooperating with each other to continue to fight and give encouragement that they can get through it all.

After various efforts and policies have been put in place, there is good news that has emerged even though the addition of new cases is still increasing.

Government Spokesperson for Handling Covid-19, Achmad Yurianto said that the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia had begun to be controlled.

In a press conference held online from the Graha National Disaster Management Agency, Jakarta last Tuesday Yurianto explained the key to success in controlling Covid-19 is by committing to compliance and disciplining the public to implement social restrictions and health protocols.

If we all want the new cases in July and June to be controlled, then starting from all commitments are in ourselves. If it works, then our lives can be much better than now and the restrictions begin to decrease. And as time goes by everything can go back to normal.

Therefore, it is strongly urged that all elements of the nation must be truly disciplined and obedient to the policies implemented by the government so that the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic can be conquered and will soon end.

This corona virus control will not run smoothly and perfectly, if only a certain group or group is committed. All elements of the nation from various walks of life must contribute to the commitment, the possibility of this coming August this nation can have a better life. Isn’t this good news so encouraging?

Therefore, now living a disciplined life such as discipline to wash hands, discipline to apply a clean and healthy lifestyle, discipline to maintain boundaries has become a new habit that we commit. This is something that is not negotiable at all in the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the attitude of community compliance in following health protocols, hygiene and healthy behavior, we can save ourselves, our immediate family, neighbors, and the environment around us and even the Indonesian people. There needs to be a strong belief that all this will pass. For that to work together and mutual cooperation is very important.
