Doni Monardo: People Don't Disappoint Doctors!

JAKARTA - Photos and hashtags of Indonesia It's up to the world of social media, especially on Twitter. Hashtags that include many videos and photos of community crowds amid the COVID-19 pandemic are considered a form of disappointment for those who do not follow health protocols.

This hashtag was inspired by a photo of a medical worker wearing a complete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and holding a paper with the words "Indonesia ?? Whatever !! Just like Kalias". Through this hashtag, the netizens expressed their frustration at some people who no longer obeyed health protocols.

Responding to the hashtag, Doni Monardo, Chair of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19, asked the public to continue implementing health protocols.

Moreover, the community is the spearhead to cut the spread of this virus and if the community does not comply with health protocols, it is not impossible for medical personnel, especially doctors, to be disappointed.

"We do not expect doctors to be disappointed. From the beginning we have always put forward that our spearhead is the community," Doni said in a press conference after a limited meeting regarding the acceleration of handling COVID-19 which was broadcast on the YouTube account of the Presidential Secretariat, Monday, May 18.

Doni also reminded that if the community did not comply with the established health protocols, they were exposed and had to be treated in a hospital, even though there were limited places for treatment and medical personnel, the doctors and nurses would be troublesome.

Moreover, the number of doctors in Indonesia is less than the number of doctors in other countries. So, since the beginning, the government has always discussed protection for medical personnel in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The total number of our doctors is less than 200 thousand people. Pulmonary doctors are only 1,976 people. This means that one pulmonary doctor has to serve around 245 thousand Indonesians. So if we lose a doctor, this is a big loss for our country," he said.

So, in the future, the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) asks all parties to carry out health protocols and rules in Law 6/2018 concerning National Emergencies.

This needs to be done by the community in the midst of a pandemic like now. "Once again, let us work together to remind each other to prevent and prevent us from becoming sick," he said.

The following are photos and videos related to this.
