Therefore, Sigit really appreciates the activities of the Indonesian Student Vaccination Center at the UI Campus. According to him, this is a tangible manifestation of the creation of synergy between community groups to support the Government’s program in fighting the corona virus pandemic.
“So of course this is our common concern for us to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Of course, many programs have been carried out by the Government, in order to contain the rate of Covid-19 and how are our efforts to be able to take steps in order to prevent the pace and efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. treat, heal and also increase immunity against Covid-19,” said Sigit.
To contain the Covid-19 growth rate, the Government has taken a number of steps, ranging from PSBB, PPKM, Emergency PPKM to PPKM at the current level. Even so, said Sigit, the government still pays attention to the community’s economic sector to keep moving.
“But on the one hand, the economic sector must also be considered so that there is also slack at the levels,” said Sigit.
Sigit explained, in controlling Covid-19 there are three keys or strategies. The first is the implementation of strict health protocols. Such as, wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds and reducing mobility.
“Regarding this compliance, of course, we must always be reminded, because indeed this is the main key to using masks then keeping a distance from crowds and also carrying out restrictions. So that this process can run, we are all doing this to keep the community from being easily infected or for positive OTG infecting others,” said Sigit.
The next key is strengthening 3T (testing, tracing and treatment). This is important because if the handling is right, the prevention of transmission and treatment can be maximized.
“Obviously this is important, because if it’s too late, it will have an impact on the community who are positive not caught and then the handling is slow so there is a risk of it getting worse. So this is also asking for cooperation from all of us tracing and testing officers trying to be optimal, doing their job and we hope from The community also participates, especially those with a history of close contact to want to be traced and tested,” said Sigit.
And the last key is the acceleration of the mass vaccination program. This activity requires cooperation between all levels of society.
“Then, one of the strategies that must be properly implemented to increase the resistance of the Covid-19 attack, is that vaccination and vaccination activities must inevitably be carried out by involving all stakeholders, people who have the ability to join,” said Sigit.
