Meanwhile, the Head of the COVID-19 Task Force of Banguntapan Subdistrict, Bantul, Fauzan Muarifin, said that his area as a sub-district in Bantul with the most positive cases, invited the public to stay at home if there were no important and urgent matters, because cases of COVID-19 transmission were increasingly worrying.

"The increase in COVID-19 positive patients is due to increased activities outside the home, while health procedures are mostly ignored, without masks, crowding and so on. Therefore, if it's really not important just stay at home," said Fauzan, who is also the Head of Banguntapan Sub-district.

However, the COVID-19 Task Force continues to invite the community to jointly break the chain of the spread of COVID-19 with clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), and the discipline to apply the 5 M, namely wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, and reducing mobility.
