Get Advice From Minister Of Home Affairs Tito, Governor Of Babes: We Have Formed Four Task Forces

JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian suggested the Governor of the Bangka Belitung Islands Erzaldi Rosman Djohan to form an upstream COVID-19 Handling Task Force, to strengthen the implementation of health protocols in the community.

"Strengthening this community process is not easy, because it involves social control," said Tito Karnavian during a working visit in Pangkalpinang, as reported by Antara, Thursday, September 2.

He said that the upstream task force will play more downstream to strengthen the 5M health protocol, namely washing hands, wearing masks, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, reducing the mobility of the people of this Sebalai Sebalai Country.

"This is my input and the governor, mayor and regent can appoint this upstream task force official," he said. The Governor of the Babylon Islands, Erzaldi Rosman Djohan, supports the direction of the Minister of Home Affairs to form a task force for handling COVID-19 upstream, in order to increase community discipline in implementing health protocols.

"Currently, we have formed four task forces to optimize every power and effort in tackling the spread of COVID-19," he said.

He said the four task forces that had been formed were the tracing and tracking task force, the vaccine task force, the isoter task force (centralized isolation), and the oxygen task force to control cases and optimize the handling of COVID-19 patients.

"Alhamdulillah, currently daily cases, deaths have decreased and hospitals are no longer having trouble getting oxygen to treat COVID-19 patients," he said.
