Satgas COVID Papua Dorong Pembatasan Aktivitas Masyarakat

JAYAPURA – Satuan Tugas (Satgas) COVID-19 Provinsi Papua mendorong kembali diberlakukannya pembatasan aktivitas masyarakat di wilayah bumi cenderawasih, guna meminimalisasi lonjakan kasus penularan virus corona.

Menurut Ketua Harian Satgas COVID-19 Papua, Welliam Manderi, jumlah kasus korona yang dicatat sampai dengan 10 Februari 2022 lalu, telah menembus angka 518 kasus.

“Saya kira lonjakan kasus ini harus menjadi catatan kita. Apalagi sampai 10 Februari 2022, total pasien yang dirawat sudah mencapai angka 1.998 atau ada kenaikan 44%,” kata Manderi di Jayapura, Senin (14/2/2022).

Oleh sebab itu, lanjut dia, lonjakan kasus ini tak boleh dipandang sebelah mata oleh semua pihak, tak terkecuali masyarakat.

Dengan demikian, masyarakat wajib menjalankan protokol kesehatan secara disiplin, tetap mengenakan masker saat bepergian, lalu menghindari keramaian.

“Terutama di dua daerah, yakni Kota Jayapura dan Kabupaten Mimika yang memang sampai saat ini cukup tinggi lonjakannya. Makanya kita dari Satgas COVID Papua dalam waktu dekat akan membagikan masker kepada masyarakat sekaligus sosialisasi,” kata ia.

Masih dikatakan Manderi, dalam waktu dekat pihaknya bakal mendorong pertemuan lanjutan dengan pihak berwenang di provinsi maupun kabupaten/kota. Lewat pertemuan itu, diharapkan menghasilkan satu keputusan bersama untuk menekan laju lonjakan kasus penularan COVID di Papua. ***

JAYAPURA – Task Force (Task Force) of COVID-19 in Papua Province encourages the re-enactment of restrictions on community activities, to minimize the surge in cases of coronavirus transmission.

According to the Daily Chairman of the Papua COVID-19 Task Force, Welliam Manderi, the number of corona cases recorded until February 10, 2022, has penetrated the number of 518 cases.

"I think this spike in cases should be our record. Moreover, until February 10, 2022, the total number of patients treated has reached 1,998 or there is a 44% increase," Manderi said in Jayapura, Monday (2/14/2022).

Therefore, he continued, the surge in cases should not be underestimated by all parties, not least the public.

Thus, the public must carry out health protocols in a disciplined manner, keep wearing masks when traveling, and then avoid crowds.

"Especially in two areas, namely Jayapura City and Mimika Regency which until now have had quite high spikes. That's why we from the Papua COVID Task Force in the near future will distribute masks to the community as well as socialization," he said.

Manderi said, in the near future it will encourage further meetings with authorities in provinces and districts / cities. Through the meeting, it is expected to produce a joint decision to reduce the rate of spike in cases of COVID transmission in Papua. ***
