JAKARTA - The COVID-19 Task Force appeals to all parents not to take their children on vacation if they have not received a booster or booster dose of vaccine.
"Please don't travel if the adults don't have boosters," said the Community Empowerment Team for Health Emergency Support for the COVID-19 Handling Task Force Retno Asti Werdhani during the webinar for Healthy Holidays, Safe Children for COVID-19 in Jakarta, Wednesday 29 June.
He reminded that the world today, including Indonesia, is not completely free from COVID-19. Therefore, the public must remain vigilant.
"We are a little careless and lose again. As adults or as companions for children, especially those with toddlers, we must be in a fit condition," he said.
He added that domestic COVID-19 cases, especially in the DKI Jakarta area, tended to move up. Parents or as children's companions must be able to ensure that their condition and environment remain healthy so as not to affect the child.
"When a child gets sick, it really comes from the outside environment, the source of which is usually from parents or an unhealthy environment," he said.
According to him, children can be infected with COVID-19 or other infectious diseases due to external environmental factors.
"Therefore, the key is to create a healthy and child-friendly environment while preventing family clusters," he said.
He added that if you really have to travel with children, please immediately take a third dose of vaccination or booster and maintain discipline in health protocols as part of self-protection efforts.
"Accompany children so they are not in crowds, keep wearing masks," he said.
After returning from abroad or a vacation place, he suggested to quarantine for three days before doing activities at work or mingling with the surrounding environment.
Therefore, he continued, it is important for families who go on vacation to prepare a budget to carry out a centralized quarantine if needed later.
"If everything is safe, we will continue to carry out health protocols," he said.
