"Thank God, the COVID-19 case is still zero," said Public Relations of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force at Praya Hospital, Dr. Yuda Permana in Praya, Central Lombok, Friday. Zero cases of COVID-19 in Central Lombok began from early April to September 2022. So his party hopes that the public will continue to comply with health protocols to prevent the emergence of new clusters of cases. The decline in COVID-19 cases cannot be separated from the efforts that have been made, both vaccinations and the implementation of health protocols. "We urge the public to continue to comply with health protocols by wearing masks, maintaining distance and washing hands, even though we currently have zero cases," he said. Meanwhile, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in Central Lombok since 2019 until now is 3,041 cases and 2,924 people have recovered, 116 people have died. "We have not prepared a special isolation room for COVID-19, but if there are new cases, we are still ready to handle it," said Yuda Permana. Meanwhile, the Head of the Central Lombok Health Office, H Suardi, said that the target for the first dose of vaccination was 731,669 or 95 percent and the complementary dose vaccination was 643,487 or 83 percent. Meanwhile, the achievement of booster vaccination in Central Lombok was 281,075 doses or 19 percent of the vaccination target of 767,700 doses. The public's desire to participate in this stage three vaccination activity has begun to decline, so the targets set by the central government have not been achieved. The Central Lombok health office continues to open vaccination services at all Puskesmas, so that the vaccination target can be achieved. "We continue to open vaccination services at all Puskesmas," said Suardi.
