The extended school holidays in addition to anticipating traffic jams also coincided with a row about mysterious hepatitis. However, the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) has not made any recommendations regarding Face-to-face Learning (PTM).
Mysterious hepatitis caused a commotion in the world because it spread in a number of countries with no known cause. Following this, the Indonesian Ministry of Health on Sunday (1/5/2022) reported three cases of child deaths allegedly due to acute hepatitis. So, will teaching and learning activities be carried out from home to prevent the risk of spreading hepatitis?
The Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) said that until now there was no policy for Face-to-face Learning (PTM) to be dismissed in response to the findings of mysterious hepatitis cases.
However, if the disease continues to spread, it is possible that PTM should be postponed. He emphasized that until now the disease is still being investigated considering that the cause of its spread has not yet been revealed.
“Until now there has been no IDAI decision to implement PTM, do not know in further developments because we are still investigating whether it really has entered Indonesia or sporadic cases. We haven’t decided yet,” said Head of the Coordination Work Unit (UKK) Gastro -IDAI hepatology dr Muzal Kadim, SpA(K) in an online discussion, Saturday (7/5).
“(Cases of mysterious hepatitis are increasing) it is possible, the cases have the potential to increase. This is still in continuous development. We may change policies over time. For example, PTM is a possibility but it will see the situation going forward according to developments,” he concluded.
