Satgas COVID Papua Dorong Penggunaan Aplikasi PeduliLindungi Untuk Akses di Tempat Umum

JAYAPURA - Satuan Tugas COVID-19 Provinsi Papua mendorong penggunaan aplikasi PeduliLindungi bagi warga untuk dapat mengakses tempat umum yang ada di seluruh kabupaten dan kota Bumi Cenderawasih, meski nantinya lebih dulu diterapkan di wilayah Jayapura dan sekitarnya. 

Tempat umum dimaksud, antara lain fasilitas publik, seperti mall, rumah makan dan pertokoan, termasuk tempat ibadah. 

Ketua Harian Satgas COVID-19 Papua, Weliam R Manderi mengatakan pemberlakuan aplikasi tersebut bertujuan meminimalisasi penularan virus korona yang biasanya mengalami lonjakan kasus usai mudik.

“Sudah ada pengalaman pasca Lebaran dan Natalan tahun lalu terjadi lonjakan kasus, khususnya dari pelaku perjalanan. Ini yang harus kita proteksi sehingga perlu ada scan aplikasi PeduliLindungi untuk meminimalisasi penyebaran COVID,” ujar Manderi di Jayapura, Senin (28/3/2022). 

Manderi berharap, penerapan aplikasi tersebut di semua tempat umum Provinsi Papua dapat segera diberlakukan mengingat imbauan itu, sudah tercantum dalam Surat Edaran Gubernur Papua yang terbaru. 

"Artinya apa, semua tempat umum itu harus menggunakan apikasi Peduli Lindungi. Kita dorong supaya apilkasi itu harus dipakai,” tegas dia.

Sementara masih mengomentari perayaan Lebaran dan Paskah tahun ini, Manderi mengimbau warga Papua agar tetap disiplin menjalankan protokol kesehatan, khususnya saat beribadah di masjid selama masa bulan suci Ramadhan maupun  gereja saat perayaan Paskah. 

Dimana Pemprov Papua dalam menghadapi dua momen keagamaan itu, tetap mengacu pada aturan atau regulasi yang dikeluarkan pemerintah pusat untuk kemudian ditindaklanjuti dengan kebijakan pemerintah daerah sesuai kondisi di daerah. 

"Sebab ada juga regulasi dari Menkes maupun Menag yang menjadi pedoman bagi kita, sehingga kita bisa lakukan upaya-upaya antisipasi penyebaran COVID-19,” terangnya. 

Selain prokes, Manderi berharap warga juga dengan sadar membawa diri untuk mendapatkan vaksinasi COVID-19 baik itu dosis 1, dosis 2 maupun dosis 3 atau vaksin booster. 

“Sebab sangat penting selain prokes kita perlu melakukan vaksinasi COVID-19 sehingga harapanya bisa meminimalisasi penularan virus mematikan ini," tutupnya. ***

JAYAPURA - The Papua Province COVID-19 Task Force encourages the use of the Peduli Lindungi application for residents to be able to access public places in all districts and cities, although it will be implemented first in the Jayapura region and surrounding areas.

Public places include public facilities, such as malls, restaurants and shops, including places of worship.

Daily Chairman of the Papua COVID-19 Task Force, Weliam R Manderi said the implementation of the application was aimed at minimizing the transmission of the coronavirus which usually experiences a spike in cases after homecoming.

"There has been an experience after Eid and Christmas last year where there was a spike in cases, especially from travelers. This is what we must protect so that there needs to be a scan of the PeduliLindungi application to minimize the spread of COVID," said Manderi in Jayapura, Monday (28/3/2022).

Manderi hopes that the application in all public places of Papua Province can be implemented immediately considering the appeal, already listed in the latest Circular letter of the Governor of Papua.

"This means that all public places must use the PeduliLindungi application. We encourage that the application must be used," he stressed.

While still commenting on this year's Eid and Easter celebrations, Manderi appealed to Papuans to remain disciplined in implementing health protocols, especially when worshiping in mosques during the Holy Month of Ramadan and churches during Easter celebrations.

The Papua Provincial Government in the face of the two religious moments, still refers to the rules or regulations issued by the central government to then be followed up with local government policies according to conditions in the region.

"Because there are also regulations from the Minister of Health and the Ministry of Religious Affairs that are guidelines for us, so that we can make efforts to anticipate the spread of COVID-19," he explained.

In addition to health protocols, Manderi hopes that residents will also consciously bring themselves to get COVID-19 vaccination whether it is dose 1, dose 2 or dose 3 or booster vaccine.

"Because it is very important that in addition to the health program we need to vaccinate against COVID-19 so that we hope to minimize the transmission of this deadly virus," he concluded. ***
