In front of the workers, Sigit emphasized the importance of health being a priority for the movement of activities and the wheels of the community's economy, in the midst of the current Covid-19 Pandemic. Therefore, Sigit said, as one of the drivers of the economy, workers must stay healthy so that they are kept away from exposure to the corona virus.
"Clearly, I want the workers' health to be maintained and the economy to continue to grow. Therefore, both must be able to work," said Sigit in his speech.
Moreover, said Sigit, workers can be categorized as one of the groups called foreign exchange heroes for Indonesia. In particular, those who work in the export-import sector.
Therefore, according to the Banten Police Chief, the Government and relevant stakeholders along with workers must work together to accelerate vaccination in order to realize Herd Immunity or group immunity against the corona virus.
"Accelerate vaccination, especially for our friends, workers who are members of KSPSI. We know that workers are one of the heroes of foreign exchange, because with the export power that has been done by colleagues. Therefore, we have an obligation to keep all of our fellow workers healthy , said Sigit.
In order to accelerate, Sigit said, the government will deploy 15,000 vaccines for workers in West Java. The goal is to immediately create strong health for workers, so that the wheels of the economy can turn again.
"Our vaccination activities have lowered 15 thousand vaccines. And if it's still lacking, it can be re-coordinated," said Sigit.
Meanwhile, the former Police Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit emphasized that because the daily number of Covid-19 is still relatively high, workers are expected to continue to implement and comply with health protocols (prokes) in their daily lives.
"Even though we carry out vaccinations, we still need to do the procedure, use masks, after vaccination activities. So that we can carry out the process and we will certainly encourage vaccinations," said Sigit.
At the same time, the TNI Commander Marshal Hadi said, to control the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccination was one of the strategies for handling it. In addition, 3M health protocols and 3T reinforcement.
"These three things are important because the variant in Indonesia is Delta, which transmits more quickly," said Hadi.
In addition to vaccinations, the TNI Commander and the National Police Chief also distributed social assistance (bansos) to workers and the community to ease the burden in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
