Dalam dua pekan terakhir tak hanya jumlah kasus positif Covid-19 yang meningkat tajam, yakni bertambah 800 lebih.
Hal serupa pun terjadi untuk angka kematian akibat Covid-19,dimana telah terjadi 15 kasus dengan prediksi penularan masih akan terus terjadi.
Menyikapi hal demikian, Juru Bicara Satgas Covid-19 Provinsi Papua, Silwanus Sumule mengimbau masyarakat agar tak anggap remeh penularan virus korona. Sebab ketika disiplin protokol kesehatan mulai berkurang, maka ancaman penularan akan semakin besar.
“Tak dipungkiri jumlah kasus positif Covid-19 di Papua saat ini terys mengalami peningkatkan signifikan. Memang Pemerintah Papua terus bekerja keras menangkal peredarannya”.
“Tapi tetap kuncinya ada di masyarakat. Kalau semua disiplin menjalankan protokol kesehatan saya yakin penularan bisa ditekan. Sebaliknya jika disiplin menjalankan protokol kesehatan berkurang,” terang Sumule, di Jayapura, Senin (14/9/2020).
Sementara meski penularan makin pesat, Pemprov Papua memastikan belum akan mengikuti jejak pemda Jakarta yang baru-baru ini kembali menerapkan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB).
Pemrov Papua, masih menurut Sumule, masih akan menjalakan adaptasi new normal sampai ada perubahan keputusan oleh pimpinan.
“Yang pasti, kita masih tetap konsisten menerapkan adaptasi new normal. Sehingga kita pun berharap masyarakat disiplin melaksanakan protokol kesehatan,” terang Sumule.
Pada kesempatan itu, Sumule mengapresiasi rencana Pemerintah Kota Jayapura yang bakal memberi sanksi bagi pelanggar protokol kesehatan.
Sebab dinilainya, penurunan disiplin protokol kesehatan di masyarakat, menyebabkan penularan Covid-19 saat ini meningkat signifikan.
“Semoga dengan pemberian sanksi bagi pelanggar protokol kesehatan, dapat meminimalisasi penularan Covid di Kota Jayapura,” harapnya.
In the last two weeks, the number of positive cases of Covid-19 has increased sharply, i.e. increased by more than 800.There have been 15 cases with predictions of transmission still occurring.
Papua Province Covid-19 Task Force Spokesman Silwanus Sumule urged people not to underestimate the transmission of coronavirus. When the discipline of health protocols begins to decrease, the threat of transmission will be greater.
"Undeniably the number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Papua is currently experiencing a significant increase. Indeed, the Papuan Government continues to work hard to ward off its circulation".
"But the key remains in society. If all disciplines run health protocols I believe transmission can be suppressed. On the other hand, if the discipline of carrying out health protocols is reduced," explained Sumule, in Jayapura, Monday (Sept. 14, 2020).
While the transmission is accelerating, the Papua Provincial Government has confirmed that it will not follow in the footsteps of the Jakarta government, which recently re-implemented large-scale Social Restrictions (PSBB).
According to Sumule, we will still make new normal adaptations until there is a change of decision by the leadership.
"To be sure, we still consistently apply new normal adaptations. So we also expect the community to be disciplined in implementing health protocols," explained Sumule.
On that occasion, Sumule appreciated the government's plan that would sanction health protocol violators. The decrease in discipline of health protocols in the community, causing covid-19 transmission is currently increasing significantly.
"Hopefully with sanctions for violations of health protocols, it can minimize covid-19 transmission in Jayapura City," he hoped.
