JAKARTA - Zaskia Adya Mecca announced that her two children, Kana Sybilla Bramantyo and Kala Madali Bramantyo, were positive for Covid-19. Through the verified Instagram account @zaskiadyamecca, Tuesday, June 15, Hanung Bramantyo's wife made two uploads about the chronology and reasons for announcing her child's condition.

In the first upload, Zaskia uploaded a photo of her two sons peeking out from behind the window. He analogized the isolation carried out by his two children was his family's journey with Covid-19.

"Let me start the Covid journey that hit Sybil, Kala, Syifa and this lady... until Thursday night Jogja, we are all healthy and safe," told Zaskia Adya Mecca on social media.

"On the way, the bus driver has been swab negative, 2 times the rest area is only for going to the toilet and 1x prayer... the toilet is quiet, always spraying and praying on the quiet mosque terrace is also open," he added.

Zaskia Adya Mecca remembers well, Friday, June 11, her family's condition was fine. In fact, the children had time to play in the rain and cycled not far from his residence complex.

"Saturday morning Sybil moved my room complaining of fever and severe dizziness... I gave medicine. Sybil Sunday still had a fever, so I decided on an antigen swab, he was positive and immediately went to the house with the swab," Zaskia Adya Mecca said.

"Other positive results came out in Kala, Syifa and Ms. Ina. We continued with PCR, and the 4 people were still positive, thank God the others were negative (kaba, bhre, kama) I didn't check because they were still very small," he continued.

Zaskia Adya Mecca's three sons always sleep separately from their two older sisters. "This is the start of the journey to get covid for our family," the mother of five ended.

An hour after the first upload, Zaskia uploaded a photo of the results of the antigen swab test for all her family members. In the information column, Zaskia gave reasons why she shared her family's experience dealing with COVID-19.

"Why are we telling stories and sharing in posts? Well, the goal is to encourage if there is something positive, don't be ashamed or afraid to tell our family and the environment our true condition... because the environment has the right to know our condition in a situation like this..." he wrote.

As a mother who has been disciplined in implementing health protocols as much as possible, Zaskia admitted that she was shocked and cried when she found out that her child was positive for COVID-19.

"Shock? Really, the child is a little sick, we are sad, this is the virus we are most afraid of... the first day I know I'm taking care of myself, it's okay to hide and cry every now and then.

"This Tuesday morning, after our hearts were ready, the house was conducive, immediately called the RT to inform us of our condition. Thank God the RT was calm and very alert! The health center came to control, the police and disinfectant officers were also present immediately," he added.

In addition to direct support, Zaskia Adya Mecca also received support from artists and netizens in the comments column.

"Hopefully it will pass soon," Ernest Prakasa prayed in the comments column.
