SEMARANG - Central Java Governor, Ganjar Pranowo, invited students from various universities to volunteer in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Volunteering is a form of concern for the conditions experienced by the community today.

Ganjar's invitation was conveyed through a video uploaded to Ganjar Pranowo's social media account. There were 5,237 tweets recorded on the Twitter trending topic page until 15:24 WIB and various tweets filled the hashtag.

In the video entitled "Ruang Ganjar: Pandemi Kok Ngajak Demo", Ganjar initially highlighted the unwiseness of a demonstration in the midst of a pandemic because the action that brought crowds had the potential to cause mass transmission of COVID-19.

Because of that, Ganjar offered other more real actions to help the people. "For fellow students, any study program, this is the time for you to help the people. Make this pandemic your scientific laboratory", said Ganjar.

According to Ganjar, how to help the people does not have to be difficult because students can act by simply reminding the public to obey the prokes or helping the marketing of SMEs that are slumped.

"Or if you want to take the critical risk, it can be like what the Rembang youth who calls himself the Covid Ranger does. They sell t-shirts, Then the results will be used to buy the needs of COVID patients who are self-isolating", he said.

Ganjar invites the involvement of all parties because he believes that COVID-19 can only be defeated with the togetherness of the leaders and the people.

"If we can sak iyeg sak eko proyo (united in work), together in tackling this situation, I am sure we will soon win this war against Corona", he said.
