Indonesia. this disease can be said dangerous

 As a health worker, what special attention and
precautions do you prepare to avoid the entry of this
disease into Indonesia?
 Because this disease has not yet entered Indonesia as a health worker, what needs
to be done is to strengthen supervision by creating and increasing staff at the
international airport and international port health offices. officers from the Port
Health Office and the airport must inspect passengers from abroad and within the
country. as health workers we must educate the passengers who are going abroad to
prepare themselves by controlling their health to the doctor and equip them
physically with vaccines or drugs to maintain immunity. and for passengers coming
from abroad, we must conduct strict supervision and checking when the passengers
are in airports quarantine and ports quarantine. and now one form of infectious
disease prevention in several airports and ports has been installed with a body
temperature detector.
 Apart from strict supervision at health offices at airports and ports, the disease can
be prevented by a healthy lifestyle and as health workers we must continue to
educate the public about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. For example like:1.
Wash your hands with soap2. Avoid direct contact with mice or primates3. Limiting
direct exposure to blood or meat that is not well cooked4. Avoid physical contact
with infected people or contaminated material5. Avoid contact with wild animals or
consume meat that is hunted from wild animals. and as health workers are
also asked to always use protective equipment such as gloves and masks when
handling patients or sick animals.
