JAKARTA - House of Representatives member, Fahira Idris, assesses that the recent surge in COVID-19 cases cannot be separated from the boredom of the people who have been faced with a pandemic for more than a year.
This boredom, according to her, triggers a decrease in the level of public awareness so that they ignore health protocols. One of them is maintaining distance and crowding in the middle of PPKM (Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities) implementation.
"In dealing with COVID-19 in the world, the increase in the number of cases usually occurs due to a combination of the policy of easing restriction rules and the lower level of public awareness in enforcing health protocols", Fahira said in a statement, Monday, June 14.
People's boredom, she continued, also occurred due to misperceptions about the COVID-19 vaccination program. According to Fahira, many people think they will be completely immune to the coronavirus when vaccinated.
In fact, she said, this boredom that gave birth to inattention should become a common enemy to accelerate the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not pretending to be fine.
"As much as possible we must fight boredom and boredom so that our vigilance is maintained and avoids the transmission of COVID-19", said the Jakarta senator.

For this reason, Fahira asked the government and those in authority to set a stricter restriction policy than before to suppress the increase in positive cases.
This spike in cases, she added, should be of particular concern. Because, at this time, the new variant of the mutated coronavirus has the ability to spread more quickly and widely. In fact, it has spread to many countries including Indonesia.
"It all depends on our awareness. We must review the level of discipline in implementing health protocols over the past few months, whether it is getting better or even getting looser", said Fahira.
