JAKARTA - Government Spokesperson for COVID-19 Reisa Broto Asmoro invites the public to participate in the success of the 3T protocol (testing, tracing, treatment) to prevent a spike in COVID-19 cases after the homecoming activity was held.

"We can prevent this spike in COVID-19 cases with strict health protocols and also with vaccinations, either booster or complete doses," Reisa said in a broadcast of health that was followed online in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Monday, May 9.

Reisa asked if the community began to feel a number of symptoms similar to the symptoms of COVID-19 after attending the homecoming. If you feel a complaint in the form of cough, runny nose, or fever, it is advisable to immediately check your health condition through a swab test so that you can quickly get a diagnosis.

People who feel they are in close contact with people who are positive for COVID-19 are also expected to actively participate in tracking so that the transmission does not spread further.

"You have to do a swab, if you know the results, the treatment will be right and the risk of fatality is low and you can recover quickly. also do tracing. Everything must be checked as well and if you have done according to the recommendations and feel there are symptoms of COVID-19, immediately self-isolate," said Reisa.

While participating in the success of the 3T protocol carried out by the government, the public is also continuously encouraged to participate in COVID-19 vaccination activities that are held nationally to get a booster dose so that immunity is maintained.

Reisa asked all parties who have had a three-month gap from the last vaccination, to immediately visit a health facility to get the next dose. Especially for the elderly who are a vulnerable group.

Because the immunity that everyone has at this time can decrease after six months.

Finally, for parents who have children aged 6-17 years and have not yet achieved a complete dose of vaccination, it is hoped that they will immediately accompany their children so that their immunity remains optimal and strong to protect themselves from COVID-19.

This is very important so that every child can participate in teaching and learning activities after the long holiday of Eid in 2022 safely and comfortably.

"As for comorbid patients, it's best to consult a doctor first to get a recommendation or permit for COVID-19 vaccination," said Reisa.
