JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board KH Yahya Cholil Staquf or Gus Yahya invites the entire community to take vaccinations and tighten health protocols (prokes).
"Cases infected with COVID-19 have increased drastically. I invite NU residents and the public in general not to ignore vaccinations and health promotions," said Gus Yahya in a written statement in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, February 8.
Gus Yahya asked the public to be vigilant, but not to panic because most of the residents had actually received the COVID-19 vaccination injection.
“What is clear is that serious attention must be paid to this, including the obligation to receive vaccines, including boosters. For those who haven't been vaccinated, I invite you to get vaccinated immediately," said Gus Yahya.
According to Gus Yahya, COVID-19 vaccination is a must, so the opinion of people who still forbid vaccines cannot be accepted.
"If someone refuses to be vaccinated for any reason, it is the same as throwing themselves into destruction, destruction, and this is an unacceptable reason," explained Gus Yahya.
Whereas in a verse of the Qur'an, he continued, Allah commands that "Do not plunge yourself into destruction".
"Let's pay close attention to the progress. Let's all pick up vaccines, prepare ourselves for vaccinations to be safe, and our families are safe too," said Gus Yahya.
As of Tuesday, 5,155 patients who were confirmed positive for COVID-19 were still being treated at the Kemayoran Athlete's Wisma Emergency Hospital. "The number of patients has decreased by 224," said Marine Colonel Aris Mudian, Head of Information for the Joint Defense Region I Command, in Jakarta, Tuesday.
Aris explained that the number of patients under treatment on Monday was 5,379 people. Patients who entered came from the DKI Jakarta area.
