ACTNews, AMBON – As COVID-19 continues to spread
in Maluku, the demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for volunteers also
increases. The Indonesian Muslim Women Entrepreneurs Association (IPEMI) Ambon
City donated 90 PPE to Aksi Cepat Tanggap and Masyarakat Relawan Indonesia (MRI)
Maluku on Monday (3/27).
The PPE packages were given to protect the
volunteers when disinfecting public places. The PPE packages consisted of pairs
of boots, gloves, and raincoats.
"I see the works of our friends MRI
and ACT very reliable so we provide PPE to facilitate their works in
disinfecting public places,” said Rachmawati Dian Puspitasari Ely, Chairperson
of IPEMI Ambon.
Rachmawati also expressed her gratitude to
ACT and the volunteers who have participated in disinfecting mosques, churches,
schools, and other public facilities. She appreciated the works of the
volunteers who have been actively participating in COVID-19 mitigation,
including by spraying disinfectant liquid.
Wahab Loilatu, ACT Maluku Branch Manager,
thanked IPEMI for providing PPE packages for ACT and MRI volunteers. This is a
good step to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Maluku, especially in Ambon
City.
"Considering that the number of ODP
(People Under Close Surveillance) and PDP (Patients Under Observation) is increasing;
we are preventing the spread of COVID-19 in Maluku. Therefore, we continue to
take precautionary measures, one of which is spraying disinfectants in public
facilities," Wahab said.
He also invited all people to support Together
Fighting Corona program because, with the participation of the community, the
impact of the movement will be more widespread.
"We invite the public to support and
participate with us in preventing the spread of COVID-19. We should stand
shoulder to shoulder in mitigating this outbreak. Hopefully, our efforts will
also be easier," said Wahab. []
