Program Adaptasi Normal Baru Kemungkinan Dievaluasi

Pemerintah Provinsi Papua kemungkinan besar mengambil langkah lebih jauh untuk mengevaluasi program adaptasi normal baru yang dalam sebulan terakhir ini, mulai diterapkan di seluruh Bumi Cenderawasih. 

Hal tersebut akibat penularan corona di seluruh wilayah, lebih khusus Kota Jayapura yang semakin mengkhawatirkan. Dimana beberapa pekan terakhir, angka penularan bahkan kematian akibat Covid, meningkat pesat.

“Saya pikir begitu (penerapan program adaptasi normal baru akan dievaluasi) pada rapat bersama para pihak terkait di 29 September 2020 mendatang, mengingat jumlah penularan dan angka kematian meningkat pesat,” terang Ketua Harian Satgas Pencegahan dan Penangaan Covid-19 Papua, Welliam R. Manderi, Kamis (17/9/2020), di Jayapura.

Welliam bahkan menyebut ada kemungkinan untuk mengurangi transportasi udara dari dan ke luar Papua, apabila angka penularan masih terus terjadi. Hanya saja, keputusan tersebut masih harus dibahas bersama semua pihak terkait.

“Kalau pun ada rencana pengurangan keberangkatan maka harus ada pertimbangan dari sisi kesehatan tetapi juga ekonomi, karena masyarakat harus hidup,” ucap ia.

Ia tambahkan, yang ditakutkan saat ini adalah penularan Covid fase kedua. Hal demikian sangat berpotensi terjadi, sebab tingkat kedisiplinan masyarakat dalam menjalankan protokol kesehatan di Papua, masih sangat rendah. 

Masyarakat bahkan masih menganggap situasi saat ini biasa-biasa saja. Sehingga masih saja dijumpai oknum  yang dalam beraktivitas, tak memakai masker bahkan tidak menjaga jarak di dalam kerumunan.

“Makanya pendisiplinan kepada masyarakat untuk melaksanakan protokol kesehatan saat ini, sangat lah penting”. 

“Disini lah kita minta peran dari tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, tokoh adat maupun pihak terkait lainnya untuk ikut membantu pemerintah mensosialisasikan hidup sehat mengindari penularan Covid,” ujar ia.

The Papua Provincial Government is likely to take further steps to evaluate the new normal adaptation program that, in the past month, has been implemented throughout the Cenderawasih Earth.

This is due to corona transmission throughout the region, more specifically Jayapura City which is increasingly worrying. In recent weeks, the number of transmissions and even deaths from Covid-19 has increased rapidly.

"I think so (the implementation of the new normal adaptation program will be evaluated) at a meeting with the relevant parties on September 29, 2020, given the rapidly increasing number of transmissions and death rates," explained the Chairman of Papua's Covid-19 Prevention and Prevention Task Force, Welliam R. Manderi, Thursday (9/17/2020), in Jayapura.

Welliam even mentioned the possibility to reduce air transportation to and from Papua, if the rate of transmission continues. However, the decision must still be discussed with all relevant parties.

"If there is a plan to reduce departures then there should be considerations in terms of health but also the economy, because people have to live," he said.

He added that what is feared today is the transmission of Covid-2. This is very likely to happen, because the level of community discipline in carrying out health protocols in Papua is still very low.

The public still considers the current situation mediocre. So still found people who are in activity, do not wear masks, do not even keep a distance in the crowd.

"That's why discipline for people to implement current health protocols is very important."

"Here we ask for the role of religious leaders, community leaders, indigenous figures and other related parties to help the government socialize healthy living in the awareness of covid-19 transmission," he said.
