In recent years the number of corona-positive patients in
Indonesia has continued to increase despite the government establishing PSBB in
several regions. However, this is not ignored by some people. The trending
hashtag "Indonesia Terserah" had occupied the trending high in
Indonesia because many residents ignored the rules made for the common good. ”
Based on The Jakarta Post The Health Ministry announced 703 new
confirmed COVID-19 cases on Friday, bringing the total number of infections
nationwide to 29,521. Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the ministry’s
disease control and prevention director-general, Achmad Yurianto, added that 49
more people had died of the disease, bringing the death toll to 1,770. Besides
that, Based on Banjarmasin.tribunnews it is also believed to have been born due to
the disappointment of medical personnel who saw residents still underestimating
the virus corona pandemic.
The first case is at the
first McDonald's who held the closing ceremony in Indonesia after 30th years of
operation. On Sunday (05/10/2020) night, so many people visited. There is
already a regulation in Pergub 41 of 2020 McD Sarinah in a fine of 10
million. According to The
Jakarta Post article “We
summoned the management staff of the restaurant [on Thursday] and they
cooperatively admitted their omission,” Jakarta Public Order Agency (Satpol PP)
head Arifin said. Videos and pictures from the meeting at Mcd Sarinah
circulated on social media, sparking criticism and concern about the
possibility of a new COVID-19 transmission cluster.
The second is the crowd
that occurred in the Tanah Abang. Based on the video circulating, the market is
crowded by buyers and sellers. “The crowds in Tanah Abang only lasted [for a
few hours],” Arifin told The
Jakarta Post on Monday. Although
it’s only lasted a short time, of course, it can trigger the transfer and transmission
of the virus. “Satpol PP personnel have closely guarded the area,
but several vendors must have resumed their businesses when the personnel was
on a break,” he added. Based on these cases, we can see that awareness of the
dangers of this virus in the community is still very lacking.
The last case is there
are still many people who roam without using masks and ignoring commands for
social distancing. As we know that this violates the large-scale social
restrictions (PSBB) regulations. Besides the use of masks is also important
because it can prevent transmission of the virus directly. Based on The Jakarta Post quoted “The regulation aims to enforce more
discipline among the public in practicing physical distancing. All of us, not
just some, must work together in preventing the transmission,” Anies said on
Tuesday.
In conclusion, the level of awareness of the Indonesian people are still very low. There are still many people who don't care even ignoring government regulations. Even though it has been shown that this virus is very dangerous. “Criminal charges, especially those carrying prison terms, should only be used as a last resort. Punishments for PSBB violators should be in line with COVID-19 prevention measures. With the increasing number of patients and the and sanctions in place, we should be aware and can comply with government regulations. Because by obeying the rules of physical distancing and using masks we can reduce the spread of viruses and help medical workers who work in the frontline. It is hoped that all Indonesian people will begin to realize how important social distancing is so that our country can recover quickly and be able to carry out activities as usual.
