WHO (World Health Organization) has said that COVID-19 is a pandemic disease. The whole world must continue to prepare themselves well for the bad possibilities that might be faced in the next few months or even one year to deal with this virus. Because scientists, governments, doctors, and WHO themselves as the World Health Organization still do not know when this pandemic will end. Human-to-human transmission is a separate force from this virus. Its speed in transmitting one virus to another makes several countries overwhelmed including Indonesia.
Various attempts have been made by the government to reduce the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. One of them is by campaigning to the community to implement healthy living and to follow the Health protocol by conducting physical distancing.
