Officials infected with the new corona virus, government operations will be affected

Prayer / Chapter
Since the government announced the first batch of Covid-19 (Covid-19) cases in March, the increase in positive Covid-19 cases has drawn more and more public attention. Even if the government has mobilized all its capabilities, it cannot control the spread of the new coronavirus.
The first case was announced by President Jokowi on March 2. At that time, two people tested positive. The facts have shown that six months later, the new positive cases are out of control, and the number of confirmed cases has reached 4,000 in the last day.
The number of confirmed cases increased by 4,168 on September 19 and reached 3,989 on September 20. As of yesterday afternoon, the total number of positive cases reached 244,676 and the death toll reached 9,553.
The government must take more specific measures to control the spread of covid-19. Successful management of COVID-19 requires three important conditions, namely correct policies, strong leadership, and the participation of the general public.
President Jokowi’s policy is correct, based on local intervention strategies. In neighborhood groups / neighborhood committees (RT / RW), small-scale local restriction strategies are applied so that the novel coronavirus can be dealt with in more detail and focus.
The methods used by the Yajing government to punish violations of the health agreement have sparked much controversy, such as placing violators in a coffin or having to pray in the cemetery at midnight, irrational methods of punishment. In fact, it is only necessary to implement sanctions in accordance with the law.
The public willing to deal with the new corona epidemic according to the rules has begun to decline. Most citizens are no longer willing to comply with hygiene protocols such as washing hands, keeping their distance, and wearing masks.
If the leadership of local leaders is strong enough, the general public may be forced to abide by health agreements. The problem is that local leaders do not follow the rules for dealing with violators, for example, when local chief candidates are registered, they still mobilize the masses to follow them.
He resolutely pointed out that the new invisible but deadly coronavirus cannot identify social class. We are very concerned that some officials have recently been infected with Covid-19.
Election Committee Chairman Arief Budiman and Election Committee member Pramono Ubaid Tanthowi were also infected with the new crown epidemic. Many supporters who participated in local elections were also infected with the new corona epidemic and tested positive. Therefore, some people have suggested that the election of local chiefs originally scheduled for December 9, 2020 should be postponed.
Not only members of the Election Committee were infected with the new corona virus, but Syamsuddin Haris, a member of the supervisory committee of the Anti-Corruption Council, also became infected with the new corona virus and became a confirmed case. There are also ministerial officials who have contracted the new corona virus.
A number of local officials have also been infected with the new coronavirus. Saefullah, the Secretary General of the Government of the Jakarta Special Administrative Region, died on September 16 after contracting a new virus. M Hermawan, Magistrate of Kelapa Gading County, Northern Yajing District, died on September 19 after contracting the new corona virus.
Prior to this, five local bosses had died from the new corona virus. If more and more government officials become infected with the new corona virus, the functioning of the government will be affected and the people will also be affected.
Information about the spread of the growing epidemic has drawn her further and further out of the shadow of the new corona pandemic. Dark clouds still obscure efforts to deal with the new corona epidemic.
Although we are still shrouded in dark clouds, we must remain optimistic. Therefore, leaders must strictly abide by health regulations or sanitation protocols, because if they contract the new coronavirus, the operation of the government will be blocked and it will affect the general public.
