Third, the government must ensure the availability of facilities and infrastructure needed by health facilities, such as COVID-19 therapeutic drugs, oxygen, and ventilators. The government, said Netty, must clearly announce the achievement of real-time per day nationally through easily accessible communication channels.
Regarding the guarantee of protection and the rights of health workers, the Deputy Chair of the PKS faction asked the government to ensure there is no more delay in the disbursement of incentives and the availability of PPE for health workers.
Mobility restrictions, said the Chair of the FPKS COVID-19 Team at the DPR RI, must also be balanced by promoting the acceleration of vaccination to achieve herd immunity. The government must increase vaccination centers to prevent mass accumulation during vaccination and facilitate and expand access for the community.
"Responses to hoaxes and misinformation about vaccines with scientific information in easy-to-understand language," explained Netty.
Netty also reminded the government to ensure the availability of food for people affected by PPKM and the distribution of social assistance in a timely and targeted manner.
"Make sure food is safe and controlled through cheap market operations. And there is no more moral hazard in distributing social assistance funds," said Netty.
