JAKARTA - The Surabaya City Government has prepared a number of strategies to strengthen the control of the spread of COVID-19 before, during and after the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1443 Hijiriah.
Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi said the concessions provided by the government so that people can celebrate Eid with their families, must be addressed while maintaining the spread of COVID-19 does not increase.
"The strengthening strategy to control the spread of COVID-19 must be carried out properly through several important steps," said Eri, quoted from Antara, Saturday, April 23.
The important steps referred to by Eri are, first, to appeal and supervise community discipline to comply with health protocols. Second, encourage tourist attractions managers to ensure the PeduliLindung application is installed and actually used.
If there are visitors who have not been vaccinated, he continued, they will be directed to the nearest vaccination outlets. Likewise, if there are visitors who fall into the black category, then prepare a temporary isolation room before getting further treatment.
Third, carry out safeguards and security for the implementation of Eid worship in mosques and in the field. Fourth, fully supervise the requirements for homecoming on various modes of transportation to be protected from the dangers of COVID-19 transmission.
