Sistem Aplikasi PON dan Peparnas Bakal Terintegrasi dengan Aplikasi Peduli Lindungi

Penyelenggaraan Pekan Olahraga Nasional (PON) XX dan Pekan Paralimpik Nasional (Peparnas) XVI Papua 2021, tinggal menghitung hari. Ribuan atlet dan ofisial dipastikan memadati empat klaster tempat penyelenggaraan multievent nasional itu, yakni Kota dan Kabupaten Jayapura, Merauke serta Mimika.

Hal yang dicemaskan banyak pihak adalah penularan virus corona (COVID-19) saat dua event nasional itu berlangsung, mengingat banyaknya orang yang bakal mengunjungi Papua.

Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan pemerintah, diantaranya mendorong vaksinasi COVID-19 kepada seluruh atlet, ofisial maupun warga sekitar venue PON.

Tak mau ketinggalan, Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatikan (Kominfo) Papua sebagai instansi teknis pendukung utama penyelenggaraan multievent PON XX dan Peparnas XVI pun melakukan serangkaian upaya.

Salah satunya mendorong integrasi aplikasi Peduli Lindungi yang dikelola tim Pusat Data dan Teknologi Kemenkes RI dengan sistem aplikasi PB PON dan PB Peparnas Papua.

Hal ini sebagaimana dikemukakan Kepala Dinas Kominfo Papua, Jeri A. Yudianto, dalam sambungan telepon, Rabu (28/7/2021) siang.

“Kita baru saja hari ini melakukan pertemuan dengan tim dari Pusat Data dan Teknologi Kemenkes RI, di Jakarta, dimana dalam peretemuan ini ada pembahasan integrasi Sistem aplikasi PON dan Peparnas Papua dengan sistem aplikasi Peduli Lindungi”.

“Sistem aplikasi Peduli Lindungi ini intinya bertujuan membantu instansi pemerintah terkait dalam melakukan pelacakan untuk menghentikan penyebaran COVID-19. Sehingga kita mendorong ada integrasi supaya bisa membantu menghentikan laju penyebaran maupun tracing COVID-19 saat PON dan Peparnas,” ujar ia.

Jeri tambahkan, sistem aplikasi Peduli Lindungi saat ini sudah diunduh oleh jutaan orang di Indonesia. Oleh karenanya, platform digital ini dinilai sangat cocok berintegrasi dengan sistem aplikasi PON dan Peparnas.

Sebab memiliki semangat yang sama, yakni untuk mengontrol penyebaran COVID-19 saat penyelenggaraan multievent nasional tersebut.

“Belum lagi ada syarat bagi kontingen, panitia pelaksana, awak media ataupun pendukung lainnya untuk bisa masuk pada venue atau pun non venue PON XX dan Peparnas XVI, dimana harus mengikuti ketentuan-ketentuan yang ada pada masa pandemi,” kata dia.

Jeri berharap integerasi tersebut sudah dapat dilakukan pada minggu ketiga di bulan Aguatus 2021 mendatang atau sebelum tahapan delegation registration meeting (DRM) PON XX Papua. Sehingga upaya pelacakan untuk menghentikan penyebaran COVID-19 saat PON dan Peparnas, bisa lebih maksimal.

The National Sports Week (PON) XX and National Paralympic Week (Peparnas) XVI Papua 2021, are just days away. Thousands of athletes and officials are certain to crowd the four clusters of national multi-event venues in Jayapura, Merauke and Mimika.

The thing that many people worry about is the transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19) during the two national events, considering the number of people who will visit Papua.

Various efforts have been made by the government, including encouraging COVID-19 vaccination to all athletes, officials and residents around the National Sports Week venue.

Not to be missed, the Department of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) of Papua as the main supporting technical institution of multi-event National Sports Week XX and National Paralympic Week XVI also made a series of efforts.

One of them encourages the integration of Peduli Lindungi application managed by the Data Center and Technology team of the Ministry of Health with the committee of National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week application system.

This is as stated by the Head of Communication and Informatics Department of Papua, Jeri A. Yudianto by phone, Wednesday (7/28/2021) afternoon.

"We have just held a meeting with a team from the Data and Technology Center of the Ministry of Health, in Jakarta. In this meeting there was a discussion on the integration of National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week application system with Peduli Lindungi application system".

"Peduli Melindungi application system is essentially aimed at assisting relevant government agencies in tracking to stop the spread of COVID-19. So we encourage integration so that it can help stop the rate of spread and tracing of COVID-19 during National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week," he said.

Jeri added, Peduli Lindungi application system is now downloaded by millions of people in Indonesia. Therefore, this digital platform is considered very suitable to integrate with National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week application systems. 

It has the same spirit to control the spread of COVID-19 during the implementation of the national multi event.

"Not to mention there are requirements for contingents, organizing committees, media crews or other supporters to be able to enter the venue or non-venue of National Sports Week XX and National Paralympic Week XVI, which must follow the provisions that existed during the pandemic," he said.

Jeri hopes that the integration can be done in the third week of August 2021 or before the delegation registration meeting (DRM) phase of National Sports Week XX Papua. So that tracking efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 during National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week, can be maximized. It is not yet certain when the application system integration time will start running. It's just that he pushed immediately, considering the time of implementation of the national multi event that is only counting the days.
