Along spike in COVID-19 cases In Indonesia, the sound of ambulance sirens is increasingly heard. In addition to the confusion of empty ambulances milling about and residents complaining about the siren ring, many have asked why ambulance COVID-19 often 2 cars go together?
An ambulance driver, Antonius answered netizens’ questions. Through a thread on Twitter he straightened out, an empty ambulance blaring its siren while on its way to a patient’s house COVID-19. By sounding the siren, residents at the victim’s location are expected to help the ambulance arrive at the patient’s house as soon as possible.
Why does it have to be side by side?
Antonius straightened out, the ambulances running together were not meant to scare people. Instead, because there are 3 teams for the relocation of corpses, cleaning of bodies, and environmental decontamination that require transportation of more than 1 ambulance.
“When there is a call to cleanse or bathe the bodies of COVID at residents’ homes, we bring three teams. The first team is the burial team, which shrouds and cleans the bodies. The second team is the funeral team. Another environmental decontamination team is tasked with spraying sterilization materials around the area. home and at the cemetery,” explained Antonius, quoted from his Twitter account with the permission of the person concerned, Sunday (18/7/2021).
“When the body is in the crate and ready to be buried, only an ambulance driver and the body can be in the ambulance. Other crews cannot enter. So he has to be cramped in the second ambulance,” he explained.
He emphasized that the ambulance is not a gallant, but a necessity. The ambulance drivers on duty now are not real ambulance drivers, but volunteers who volunteered to help ambulance work in the midst of increasing demand.
“You also need to know that the ambulance drivers on duty at this time are NOT real ambulance drivers. They are volunteers whose originals may be lecturers, employees, ustadz, task force masons, and so on,” said Antonius.
