MAKASSAR - The Makassar City Government, South Sulawesi, plans to distribute 100 thousand packages of basic material assistance during PPKM level 4 to August 2, 2021. The assistance is intended for underprivileged communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We will distribute it immediately. Data for our underprivileged residents in Makassar from the Social Service is recorded at 66 thousand. Of course there will be many affected, for that we have prepared 100 thousand packages of basic commodities," said Makassar Mayor Moh Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) in Makassar quoted Between, Monday, July 26.
According to Danny Pomanto, Makassar City has been designated a COVID-19 red zone. In line with this, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto has also instructed Makassar to run PPKM Level 4. So that his party will continue to take serious efforts to handle the pandemic.
One of the quick steps taken by the City Government, he said, was to immediately distribute basic materials to affected communities according to data from the Social Service and continue to carry out patrols by the Raika (Crowd Breaker) Task Force team accompanied by health protocol education by the COVID-19 Detector Task Force team.
As for the technical distribution of the staples, said the man who is familiarly called Danny Pomanto, he will deploy Raika's team, distributing them to prevent crowds of people and break the chain of transmission.
"The distribution will be carried out by the Raika Task Force team together with the Detector Task Force to residential areas that have been recorded, as well as delivering education on health protocols and prevention of COVID-19 transmission," he explained.
Danny Pomanto also asked the public to remain patient in facing the pandemic. Because, not only the Makassar City Government, the South Sulawesi Provincial Government and the Central Government also have difficulty issuing a tightening policy through PPKM, because it also has an impact on economic movements in each region.
"Whether we like it or not, whether we like it or not, we have to do (PPKM). Without strict health protocol discipline, there is no way to progress towards a recovery zone to end the pandemic. For that, let's all obey the rules," said Danny Pomanto.
