COVID-19 patients due to being infected by the Coronavirus in Indonesia continue to grow day by day. This condition requires all people of the country to be alert.
Everyone has a responsibility to prevent the spread of this virus. Therefore, it is very important to stay at home if it is not urgent.
Based on the government website covid19.go.id, Corona cases in Indonesia have reached 2,273 people, as of April 6, 2020.
Meanwhile, 164 patients recovered and 198 died, while the number of patients treated was 1,911.
It is predicted that the number can increase due to the character of the virus which is very easy to spread.
The Indonesian government has made efforts to break the chain of the spread of the Coronavirus. They appeal for the citizens to make distance (physical distancing), work from home, study at home, to worship at home continue to be sounded so.
President Joko Widodo decided to implement large-scale social restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar) in order to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the right decision because the Coronavirus can be transmitted through splashes (droplets), or touching objects that were previously exposed to droplets.
Coronavirus can also survive in objects for hours and even days. So, it is very important to know how to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
If I am the president of Indonesia, this is what I would do.Â
First, I would push the speed of rapid tests that are happening right now, the test will also be followed by everyone even people without symptoms. This is to maintain true statistics and to stop the spread from some people with no symptoms or indications.Â
