SEMARANG - Semarang Mayor Hendrar Prihadi reiterated the importance of COVID-19 vaccination in order to achieve herd immunity. The mayor, who is familiarly called Hendi, admitted that he received questions about COVID-19, in fact, "there was no one" to see the Euro final at Wembley Stadium, London, England.
"Sir, did you watch the Euro final last night, Italy versus England, Italy won on penalties. One stadium doesn't wear a mask, it means that COVID doesn't actually exist," said the Mayor of Semarang, Monday, July 12.
Mayor Hendi emphasized that the Wembley Stadium crowd was full when Italy played England in the final because they had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
"COVID is there, the problem is that everything has been vaccinated," said Hendi speaking in Javanese.
“A little bit of COVID, rest, recover. Those who are here because the vaccine has not been evenly distributed in the fourth quarter of COVID-19 can go away. This means that let's intensify the vaccine for Semarang to be healthier, more powerful," he said.
