If Covid-July 19 decreases, don’t imagine an immediate normal condition like before the pandemic

YAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Government spokesman for Covid-19 handling Achmad Yurianto stated that normal conditions in July as envisioned by Covid-19 Working Group chairman for Covid-19 handling Doni Monardo did not mean that the situation would be normal or the situation before the pandemic appeared.

He said there were certain conditions that became the new normal standard when the pandemic would start again in July.

Because it could be that normal activities can be done outside the home, but applying some adjustments, such as maintaining physical distance and wearing masks.

“If we normally speak in a paradigm like before there was Covid-19 disease, this is something that we must perceive first. Because in China, even now, it is not normal like when there was no Covid-19. We see children in school still using face shieldYuri said in a discussion on the YouTube account Medcom.id, Sunday (3/5/2020).

“Then, also in Saudi Arabia, the things that can be done have begun to be reduced little by little, little by little. Therefore, it cannot be if we later measure the size as before the incident (Covid-19) yesterday, “he continued.

He added that Covid-19 is a global pandemic. Therefore, the problem was not immediately resolved despite the fact that no new cases were added in Indonesia.

The reason is that dangers are still lurking in new cases that have the potential to arise from the arrival of foreign citizens in Indonesia. Something similar happened in China. They complained about the case of imports after there was no local transmission in the country.

“Therefore, it will not be easy to say that with all of Indonesia people play a role and then the problem is solved. No. This is a pandemic. That means we remember other countries,” Yuri said.
