Suara.com – Since the pandemic Covid-19, a campaign about adapting new habits with the discipline of applying health protocol (prokes) is always echoed.
The simplest process using mask, washing hands, and keeping a distance were actually forms of healthy living habits even before the SARS Cov-2 corona virus.
“Actually, it’s a strengthening of healthy living habits that we used to often ignore or underestimate. But the learning is extraordinary,” said the clinical pathologist, dr. Andaru Dahesihdewi in a discussion on the Health Radio Ministry of Health, Monday (3/1/2022).
According to doctor Andaru, the core of the health protocol is actually maintaining personal and environmental hygiene. These simple actions will then strengthen your health and prevent yourself from getting various diseases, not only Covid-19.

In addition, carrying out the process with discipline can also be interpreted as a form of caring for others.
“We wear masks, we actually care about each other. Before there was a Covid test, it was the sick who used the masks. But even then, the sick were often ignored,” he said.
In principle, infection prevention has never changed from the past until now when a pandemic occurs, continued doctor Andaru. The most important thing is to maintain cleanliness and be aware of not meeting other people when you are sick, so as not to transmit.
“Especially illness related to infection because the microbes that cause it can transmit. That’s why wear a mask,” he said.
Moreover, Covid-19 can infect but not cause any symptoms. Therefore, wearing a mask is increasingly important.

Not only to protect yourself from getting infected, but also to keep others from getting infected.
“Who knows you carry the virus yourself, don’t let it infect others. So wear a mask. Look for a mask that is comfortable, as long as it is fit, there are no leaks,” he concluded.
