JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian appealed to the public to make efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. One of them is by avoiding cold drinks that use ice.
"If you drink, bring your own drink holder. Put it in your backpack. Try to avoid cold drinks, ice and order," said Tito at the National Coordination Meeting for Population and Civil Registration at the Ministry of Home Affairs office, Tuesday, October 6.
Tito explained the reasons for the appeal not to drink cold drinks. He said, a virus such as COVID-19 will last a long time in a cold place.
"Remember, this is a fatty virus. The nature of fat is strong in a cold place. It hardens. Just try if there is beef fat, for example, satay, once you put it in the refrigerator it will harden, be strong and will not die," said Tito.
Apart from avoiding cold drinks, Tito also suggested avoiding buffet or buffet food that uses shared utensils.
"At the Ministry of Home Affairs, my policy is to bring each one of them. Like in school, use a plastic box. Bring bread, or rice, vegetables, in the same place, bring each cutlery," he explained.
When at home, people are also asked to open ventilation such as windows so that sunlight can enter the room and air circulation can run smoothly.
Nutritious food and supplement intake, said Tito, are also important to maintain to increase body immunity. In addition, Tito suggested exercising in the sun and getting enough rest.
Meanwhile, 3M applications such as wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance also need to be continuously implemented in order to avoid transmission of COVID-19. "Keep a distance of 1.5 to 2 meters to avoid droplets. Then, avoid the crowd," he said.
