JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria asked people to arrange the furniture in their homes. This must be done so that the air vents in the house are not blocked by furniture and facilitate air exchange so as to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the family.

"I urge you to first make sure there is ventilation in our homes so that it makes it easier for air to get out and enter. Then rearrange the furniture in our homes. Don't let the furniture block the entry of fresh air," said Riza as quoted from the video he uploaded on his Instagram account @bangriza, Friday, January 1.

He asked all people to follow this recommendation. Because, currently the family cluster is a contributor to the COVID-19 case in DKI Jakarta.

"This is important for me to convey because currently the family cluster is a large one," he said.

Apart from rearranging the furniture at home, Riza also asked people to clean themselves first when they arrive home after doing activities outside. This, he continued, he also often did in his daily life.

"Every time I go home, my child reminds me. My child asks me not to touch anything before washing my hands and immediately take a shower, brush my teeth, and change clothes. Only then can I go to the living room, dining table, or other places," he said.

Furthermore, Riza said that there were many valuable lessons in 2020, including regarding the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, entering the new year, namely 2021, he hopes that all parties are optimistic even though they remain vigilant by implementing health protocols to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

"Even though we enter 2021 optimistically and of course we will continue to be vigilant. Thank you for running 3M, to take care of each other. Happy new year, I hope the joy and happiness will always cover all ladies and gentlemen," he concluded.
