Tekan Penularan Covid, Pemprov Papua Samakan Persepsi dengan Pemkot Jayapura

Jajaran Pemerintah Provisi Papua bersama Pemerintah Kota Jayapura, duduk bersama menyamakan persepsi terkait penanganan Covid-19, Rabu (5/8/2020) pagi.

Hal tersebut bertujuan agar proses sosialisasi pencegahan dan penanggulangan Covid, bisa dimengerti dan dipahami masyarakat. 

“Kita perlu duduk bersama dengan pemerintah kota dan jajaran dibawahnya seperti kepala kampung, kepala distrik dan lurah”. 

“Tujuannya agar sama-sama mendorong anak-anak muda di setiap kampung, menjadi agen perubahan. Serta bagaimana mendorong seluruh masyarakat merubah pola pikir dalam menghadapi Pandemi Covid. Dengan begitu, kita harap angka kasus penularan bisa turun,”  terang Wagub disela-sela pertemuan itu.

Wagub katakan, penularan di Kota Jayapura masih sangat tinggi meski sejumlah upaya telah dilakukan, diantaranya program relaksasi konstektual Papua. Oleh karenanya, Kota Jayapura sampai saat ini belum dapat memberlakukan adaptasi normal baru. 

Untuk itu, diharapkan melalui kesepahaman persepsi tersebut diharapkan penularan corona akan bisa ditekan. 

Sementara itu, Walikota Jayapura, Benhur Tomi Mano mengatakan telah berkomitmen bersama-sama dengan Pemprov Papua menekan penularan Covid.

Namun demikian, pihaknya berharap agar masyarakat Kota Jayapura pun ikut memberi dukungan dengan menerapkan pola hidup sehat serta menjalankan protokol kesehatan sesuai yang telah ditetapkan WHO.

“Tentunya dengan mencuci tangan, pakai masker dan jaga jarak. Ini yang akan kita dorong bersama dengan pemerintah provinsi, agar bisa segera mengendalikan penularan Covid di Kota Jayapura,” pungkasnya.

Government provision of Papua and Jayapura city government discuss to make the perception regarding the handling of Covid-19, Wednesday (August 5, 2020).

It aims to prevent the socialization and countermeasures of Coronavirus that can be easily understandable by the public.

"We need to sit together with the city government and the ranks beneath it such as the head of district.

 “The aim is to encourage young people in each village to become agents of change to encourage the whole community to change the mindset in dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic. That way, we hope the number of cases of transmission can go down”, explained Deputy Governor during the meeting.

The Deputy Governor said that the transmission in Jayapura is still very high despite a number of efforts have been made, such as Papua's contextual relaxation program. Therefore, Jayapura City until now has not been able to implement new normal adaptation.

For that, it is hoped that the perception is expected that the corona transmission will be suppressed.

Meanwhile, Jayapura's mayor, Benhur Tomi Mano says it has been committed together with Papua's provincial government to suppress the transmission of Covid-19.

Nevertheless, it hopes that the community of Jayapura also provides support by implementing a healthy lifestyle and conducting health protocols as the WHO has established.

"Of course, by washing hands, wear masks and keep the distance. This is what we will encourage together with the provincial government, in order to immediately control the transmission of Covid-19 in Jayapura City", he concluded.
