In his remarks during the inauguration of the Supreme Echelon I Official of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Ministry of Home Affairs) in the Sasana Bhakti Praja (SBP) Complex of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian advised all staff to be careful in their work.
The reason is that the Covid-19 outbreak has not yet been completely controlled, plus office space has become a place of transmission or new clusters.
"Now it has begun work from office (WFO). This. Really must be careful because some government offices have become new clusters," said the Minister of Home Affairs in Jakarta , Monday (07/27/2020).
The Minister of Home Affairs asked echelon I and II officials in the Ministry of Home Affairs to really provide understanding to his staff about Covid-19. Including how the transmission and prevent it.
"Once again I submit transmission through starting from a spark. So keep a distance. Transmission is also through aerosols, bursts and transmission through objects. The objects are many, the same aerosols that we may not be aware of," he said.
Therefore, said the Minister of Home Affairs, for those who have to work in an office or enter an office, the sitting position must be distance. Spread out or apply a shift system, so that the potential for transmission can be prevented.
"If you do not need to use AC in the room. If you want to use the AC before the others, such as ventilation is opened so that the air flow out. "Then open a lot of curtains so that sunlight enters, because the sun will kill the RNA protein in the Covid-19 virus," he said.
The most vulnerable potential for transmission, the Minister of Domestic Affairs continued, is goods or objects held by people who have been infected with the virus. As much as possible if you have touched an object in a public space, such as in an office, if you have not washed it with soap, or hand sanitizer, do not touch the eye or nose area.
"If the ladies and gentlemen ask why the Minister does not wear gloves? I after holding this there is no nose, but after I hold the mic hold all kinds of the others I spray the new nose eyes or mouth. Well here, so please remind me right, still wear a mask, except alone in the room, but if the meeting is still trying to use a mask even if you keep a distance, incoming sunlight, air conditioning for example turned off, it will help a lot, and don't forget to prepare hand washing soap everywhere, also hand sanitizer "This is the personal equipment of each personnel," said the Minister of Home Affairs.
Tito asked the Ministry of Home Affairs to be an example of an office that could call for Covid prevention, not just a cluster of contagion.
"Pray that this Ministry of Home Affairs does not occur in Covid-19 transmission or become a new cluster, because how will we talk out about handling Covid if the Ministry of Home Affairs office itself cannot be an example," he said.
