JAKARTA - Although 15 provinces have reported no additional new positive cases, there are still additions in several cities and districts. Today alone, 467 people were reported to have tested positive, bringing the cumulative total to 26,940.

Thus, the spokesman for the government for handling COVID-19 Achmad Yurianto, does not get tired of reminding people to live healthy or not to be careless about the dangers of the virus. Namely, diligently washing hands, wearing masks when in open areas or complying with health protocols.

Because, referring to temporary data, the COVID-19 virus can die if exposed to soap containing detergents. This is because the virus wall layer is formed from fat which is susceptible to these substances.

"The lining of the walls is made of a fatty structure that will easily crumble when exposed to detergent and all soaps contain detergent," Yuri said in an official statement, Monday, June 1.

Then, he invited the whole community to remind each other of his family members who had not strictly adhered to health protocols. This is because this is the key to being able to apply the new concept launched by the government, namely the new normality.

"We have to educate all of our family members about the new norms that we have to implement, how to get used to washing our hands, how do we get used to using masks when leaving the house," Yuri said.

Yuri added that in the future his party will conduct monitoring. There are at least a few things that will be the focus during the implementation of the new concept of normalcy.

"Of course, along this trip there will be monitoring related to the development of the epidemiology and health system," said Yuri.
