In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yurianto then reminded the public to follow the applicable health protocols. He also asked each family in the community to be a means of control for each family member.
"Family is the best control in our social system, so we remind the role of all family heads to teach change (following health protocols) to all family members," said Yurianto.
He said a change in attitude to pay more attention to health and hygiene in the midst of this pandemic was deemed necessary. This is because people are now being forced to live in a new era. "We can no longer hope that we will return to the time before COVID-19," he said.
So that with a change in attitude following this health protocol, people will be able to return to their activities and be productive but will not cause a spike in new cases in the community.
"Our productivity can be returned, but it will not cause a surge in new cases found in the community. COVID-19 is not a simple problem. This problem is complex and will involve many things and consume resources," he concluded.
