JAKARTA - Perum Bulog is ready to support the government's efforts to prevent the corona virus, or COVID-19, by implementing a body temperature detection protocol at the entrance to the work area of Perum Bulog. This effort is carried out for all employees and guests who enter the working area of Perum Bulog.

The President Director of Perum Bulog Budi Waseso stated that the efforts to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus are in accordance with the appeal letter from the Indonesian Ministry of Health.

Furthermore, said Buwas, it is run by the Human Resources Division of Bulog to ensure that employees and guests who enter the work area of Perum Bulog are free from symptoms of the COVID-19 virus such as fever above 38 degrees Celsius and other flu symptoms.

"BULOG actively and consistently makes preventive and promotive efforts, invites and educates internally and externally to carry out a healthy life against the COVID-19 virus," said Budi Waseso in a statement received by VOI, Thursday, March 12.

The corona virus is a disease that attacks the respiratory tract caused by a virus that is transmitted through doplets (saliva splashes) that can come out at any time when chatting, which until now has not found a cure and vaccine.

"Access to the entrance will be made in one lane, making it easier for protocol officers to check the body temperature of each employee and guest," said Budi Waseso.

If there are employees or visitors or guests who experience symptoms of fever above 38 degrees Celsius and shortness of breath, further examination will be carried out by medical personnel. Perum Bulog has also opened an internal hot line in the event of an urgent matter related to the COVID-19 virus.

Ensure Food Supply

In addition, Bulog also guarantees a supply of food, mainly rice in anticipation of panic buying and also that all Bulog warehouses throughout Indonesia are ready to distribute rice to all levels of society.

"Once again, people do not need to worry, Bulog is ready to guarantee food supplies in unexpected situations or facing Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr," said the former head of the BNN.
