For prevention, the church in Papua was asked to socialize COVID-19

The Papua Provincial Health Office asks each church leader in the area to socialize prevention about matters relating to the COVID-19 virus, which is currently set by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic.

Papua Health Agency Head Robby Kayame in Jayapura on Sunday said that the material being socialized included washing hands as often as possible.

"Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water or alcohol-based liquids," he said.

Then, it is also necessary to keep a distance (social distancing). "Keep a distance of at least one meter between you and anyone who coughs or sneezes," he said.

Then, avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth. He explained that hands that touch many surfaces are at risk of a virus. If contaminated, the hands can transfer the virus to the eyes, nose or mouth. "

Perform respiratory hygiene. "Respiratory hygiene means covering your mouth and nose with bent elbows or tissues when you cough or sneeze," he said.

He said that if you experience symptoms of fever, cough and difficulty breathing immediately seek medical treatment early.
