JURNALPOST – Covid-19 cases are increasing every day. Instead of approaching the end, the Covid-19 pandemic is increasingly showing that its existence is increasingly long-term. For this reason, various efforts are needed to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 in order to be able to suppress the increasing number of Covid-19 cases. Public awareness regarding the importance of maintaining health protocols must always be encouraged so that more people are educated so that they are able to break the chain of spread of Covid-19. There are three ways to prevent COVID-19:
First, get used to always washing both hands and eating utensils. The Covid-19 virus is transmitted to other people through droplets from an infected person. Therefore, efforts to wash hands thoroughly also ensure that touched items, especially clean cutlery, are an appropriate form of anticipation during this pandemic.
Second, get used to wearing masks. Masks can protect yourself from the possibility of being exposed to Covid-19 from viruses that may be scattered in the air. If we come into contact with people who are exposed to Covid-19, then with this mask we can fortify ourselves so that the virus does not attack us. From there, the policy of wearing masks became an obligation to protect themselves and protect others from possible transmission.
Third, avoid crowds. In a crowd we don’t know for sure about each other’s health conditions. When in a crowd there are people who are infected, then the crowd is most likely infected with Covid-19. This then became the driving force for the emergence of policies not to trigger things that could cause crowds. Many activities are prohibited when they have the potential to cause a crowd because if one of them is infected, the number of Covid-19 cases will rise and create a new cluster. The government continues to encourage crowd prevention efforts by limiting public activities. Like a wedding that can only be done with limited invitations. This is done by the government to control the spread of Covid-19. Then what about the various violations that occurred? There are two possible causes behind the occurrence of these violations, either from low public awareness or lack of firm legal policies.
Apart from that, all efforts to prevent Covid-19 must be implemented by the entire community so that they have the same interest in stopping the spread of Covid-19. If the whole community adheres to the health protocols and applicable policies, this pandemic will soon be over. However, if there are still many who violate the rules and tend to ignore health protocols, then this pandemic will be difficult to end and end.
