A group of people in some areas reject the funeral of corona virus victims or Covid-19 in their area. The public hopes that there will be no more funerals for the victims of Covid-19 because the action is inhumane and the funeral is in accordance with the SOP .
When the Covid-19 Pandemic was sweeping Indonesia, an outrageous action emerged from a handful of people who refused the funeral of the Covid-19 victims. . The rejection of the COVID-19 system must also not be repeated. Understanding of the SOP as a protocol for treating Corona’s positive bodies seems to be worth studying.
Actually, this education effort has been fully socialized both online and offline through stakeholders . such as village government , district, RT / RW as well as others. It is possible that this understanding has been mixed with a variety of hoa ks that first circulated. One of these hoaxes is if a corona- positive corona can transmit it to another, or the soil has the potential as a medium for expansion of the virus. even though these assumptions are wrong.
According to a number of experts who researched the Corona virus stated that, the virus can not survive in the host (human body) that has died. because the cell body as a place of life has decomposed. It is said from various sources, the treatment of these bodies is indeed slightly different. Starting from bathing the body that must be sprayed with disinfectant liquid. Pengafafu equipped with body bag plastic to wrap the corpse to keep it sterile .
As for the funeral procession, it is recommended not to be visited alone. This is to speed up the burial procession. If all standard procedures have been carried out, then the community should not need to be afraid to overdo it. Moreover, to refuse the body to be earthed. Isn’t this the same thing as discrimination. These trivial matters become more complicated when the news that comes from the middle of nowhere only contains hoaxes . Add a high level of anxiety to citizens.
The difficulty in understanding the government’s appeal is further compounded by deviant actions. It is like a myth if the corpse of COVID-19 is forbidden, family members will also be ostracized, cornered and even blamed if another victim will appear. N Amun, the most important is to focus on what is instructed by the state government as well. Corona virus is only able to attack in humans with low immunity . so it’s clear what we should emphasize, right?
So, do not be surprised if boosting immunity is now a top priority. No matter how powerful the virus attacks, if your health, your body’s immunity is strong, what health should be afraid of. What to worry about! Except for ngeyel bin ignorant people who are desperate not to be born . Menas ehati such people such as sea salt, in vain. But, they are unique if it has been infected, the koar-ask for help, fanfare if the government is ignorant and a series of upsetting accusations.
It seems, we should be ashamed of the foreign country. Medics who deal with Corona patients were welcomed when they returned home, shouted at by heroes as they headed for their door. In Indonesia? Insulted, ostracized, cornered until the most apprehensive is being driven out of the village. They are medical officers, you know! who fought as the vanguard in our country.
If understanding alone is wrong, of course fixing this also takes time. It’s useless if called on and given an understanding they still nag with their personal opinions. Maybe it should be given a certainty about this. Given the Corona pandemic is no joke. It involves millions of lives. High-level egoism is the same as human rights violations . If every citizen who died must be buried, regardless of the cause of death suffered.
If the body is still forbidden to be buried, do you need to enforce the rules? the application of possible sanctions or the like. Not to make an era effect , but rather to provide proper education related to the good and correct procedural handling of COVID-19.
All of these require active roles from the community as well as the government. If the government has such an aggressive provide guidance, the board brought hnya also required to distribute this knowledge to be able to be a good habit to do. Not for anything, this matter concerns humanity, has died due to a deadly virus, is still refused to be buried. This is certainly very alarming.
