Overall, Jajat considered, the government did not have a clear and firm step in dealing with Covid-19. Meanwhile, patients with viral infections that first appeared in Wuhan, China continue to grow every day until now.
Jajat said the density due to the tail was very risky and had the potential for spread and transmission of the Covid-19 virus. He should have added that the government could be firm and clear in every policy carried out.
“Don’t confuse the public, especially healthcare workers,” said the PPNI Organization Department member.
In his policy, President Jokowi had prohibited residents from going home, but not coming home. Over time, the government issued operating licenses for various transports to transport passengers out of the area with a note that they must obey the health protocol.
Later, Polda Metro Jaya also allowed the community to travel to visit the local homecoming during Lebaran. However, they called on the community to continue to comply with existing rules of large-scale social limitation (PSBB).
Related to this, Jajat said it could be done. He stated, provided this was done by keeping a distance and wearing a mask.
“The key to disconnecting the transmission is keeping the distance and the mask. Anything can be done as long as both are maintained,” he said.
