The head of the family is the key to the discipline of citizens in the prevention of co-19

Government Spokesperson for Handling COVID-19 Achmad Yurianto said the head of the family had an important role to help discipline family members as the smallest unit of society to care and carry out all efforts to break the chain of COVID-19 distribution.

"The role of the head of the family to discipline and change healthy behavior for family members is the basis of everything, this is what is important to realize," Yurianto said.

According to Yurianto, the head of the family is a role model in the community in the smallest structure. "Efforts to stop the COVID-19 pandemic must be community based," he said.

Yurianto said community role models such as religious and traditional leaders also played an important role in helping the community understand and carry out efforts to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19.

"Community role models are key in terms of changing people's behavior," he said.

Efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 can be done by the community, including by getting used to washing hands using soap and running water, using masks and returning home as soon as possible if forced to leave the house, limiting time to leave the house, keeping a distance.

"We can avoid direct droplets by maintaining a safe distance of 1 to 2 meters," he said.

If you are forced to leave the house, limit your time, avoid large crowds of people, avoid jostling in public transportation, and clean yourself after getting home as soon as possible. "Being outside our home we cannot control anything," he said.

He also asked the public not to go home and not to travel. People are asked to stay and stay at home.
