JAKARTA, iNews.id – Dynamic conditions due to pandemics Covid-19 has been felt by all nations in the world, not only by Indonesia. Therefore, the government and society need to work together to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 so that it does not spread and be controlled.
The government continues to strive to maintain public health and as soon as possible bring in the Covid-19 vaccine. However, according to the opinion of various experts in the health sector, the public should not ignore the 3M health protocol (Wearing a mask, washing hands, maintaining distance).
“In May 2020, I observed that in fact there were 80% of countries whose outbreaks were under control and 20% were fluctuating. But today the figures are different, the condition of the outbreak has fluctuated to 64%, this means that not only Indonesia, but the world is also fluctuating. Then I think the vaccines that have already conducted phase III clinical trials are good news, because they give hope that we can come out or at least be in a situation where Covid-19 is not a problem for public health, “said dr. Syahrizal Syarif, MPH, Ph.D., Epidemiologist FKM UI in the Productive Dialogue with the theme Vaccine + 3M: Effective Stances Against COVID-19 organized by the Committee for Handling COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN), Thursday (3/12 / 2020).
The statement of dr. Syahrial that vaccines are good news for everyone, was also supported by Theodorus Jodimarlo, a travel entrepreneur who has been economically affected since pandemic Covid-19.
“I welcome the vaccine, because with the vaccine, the economy can certainly recover. We, especially in the tourism world, have suffered enough for more than nine months without income. Vaccines are a breath of fresh air for us because the tourism industry is the first to be affected and the last to recover, “he said.
