JAKARTA - Chairperson of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force Doni Monardo reminded the public not to allow any crowds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because, if the public still doesn't care about the potential for transmission of the corona virus by holding activities that cause crowds, then they will not only be sanctioned in the world, but also in the hereafter.

"Those who organize will not only get sanctions in the world by the government, but also in the future they will get a request for accountability from Allah SWT," Doni said in a press conference broadcast on Youtube BNPB Indonesia, Sunday, November 15.

Doni said, a number of activities that create crowds can almost certainly lead to the transmission of COVID-19 to one another. For young people under 36 years of age who are in good health, do not have congenital or comorbid diseases, if they contract COVID-19 they are usually without symptoms.

However, when he returns home when he meets someone with family or other relatives who have comorbids, his age is advanced, the risk is very fatal.

"The data we have obtained for the past 8 months, the mortality rate for positive cases of co-morbid COVID-19 and the elderly has reached 80-85 percent," said Doni.

Therefore, people are asked to adhere to health protocols, such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, and washing their hands frequently.

"Hopefully this request is so that the Indonesian people understand how difficult the duties of doctors are because of the high risk. 160 doctors have died. Not to mention other health workers," he said.
