Komunikasi Penanggulangan Risiko Wabah Covid-19 di Provinsi Banten

The Covid-19 virus has spread out to Indonesia including Banten Province which causes multidimensional impacts from various sectors such as health, social, economic, and education. In risk mitigation of Covid-19 epidemic, it requires a risk communication approach, that is information exchange and views among stakeholders such as governments, industry, researchers/academics, mass media, and the community who takes apart of the Covid-19 Task Force. This study aims to determine the implementation of risk communication between Provincial government of Banten and stakeholders as well as the utilization of public health promotion media of Covid-19 epidemic mitigation risk. The theoretical basis of this research applied risk communication model proposed by William Leiss. The research was conducted using a qualitative evaluative approach with a case study method. The results of this research are 1) The Provincial Government of Banten consists of five stakeholders, they are government, industry, academics/researchers, mass media, and communities, in which every stakeholder has their own role of Covid-19 mitigation risk. The application used to communicate and coordinate are mostly perfomed virtually through Zoom and WhatsApp Groups. However, in practice, the implementation of Covid-19 mitigation risk in Banten Province is still not optimal because several stakeholders are not being involved by The Provincial Government of Banten. 2) The Provincial Government of Banten uses the strategy of above the line and below the line concerning the health promotion media to socialize and educate the public about Covid-19. However, the set of media content for health promotion still needs to be improved to be more creative, informative, up to date and raise the public opinion, so that it can fulfil the information needs of the society.

EMPLOYEE'S PERCEPTION OF THE WORK ENVIRONMENT IN THE PREVENTION EFFORT INFECTION OF COVID-19

Corona Virus Disease 19/COVID-19 has an impact on utility services. Utility services such as clean water, electricity supply, security, and cleanliness are included in the scope, especially in the town management. This qualitative research with a case study design aims to get an overview of employee perceptions regarding the prevention of COVID-19 transmission. The study was conducted at Kelapa Dua Sub-district, Bencongan Indah Village, Tangerang on 5/five informants who worked in the Town Management. Data were collected through interviews with the implementation of health protocols and analyzed using a problem-solving approach with Fishbone Analysis. The results showed that until June 2022 83 employees were exposed to COVID-19. This is due to several factors, such as human resources, machines, methods, budgets, materials, and the environment, such as the number of operational working hours serving residents/residences for 24 hours, there is no task force team/Satgas COVID-19, there are no tools to check the conditions exposed to workers, there is no SOP/Standard Operating Procedure to implement health protocols, the price of Swab/PCR and mask examinations are expensive, there are no vaccines at the beginning of the pandemic, and health protocols implementation at homes and in public inconsistent. Need more efforts to increase positive perceptions such as the creation of a special team for the COVID-19 Task Force and efforts to increase employee awareness to implement health protocols consistently.

11.B. Round table: From Science to Policy Making: Lessons learned from ASPHER’s COVID-19 Task Force

Abstract ASPHER, the Association of Public Health Schools in the European Region, convened a COVID-19 Task Force (TF) at the start of the pandemic. The TF has involved over 60 experts, 30 member schools, more than 20 countries across four continents, supported by young professionals (YPs). The COVID-19 TF became a unique expert forum for mutual support, sharing, reviewing, and presenting evidence on epidemiological, technical, societal, and political dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic across Europe. Working with European and national health authorities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), it also prompted and supported the coordination of policy responses across the WHO European Region. Drawing on members’ collective knowledge and expertise, the TF produced a significant body of work that speaks to different public health aspects of the pandemic and gaps in responses. Since its inception in early 2020, the TF has produced more than 30 peer-reviewed publications, regular position statements and reports on topics from personal to planetary protection including: face masks, testing, tracking, vaccination, health inequalities, protecting vulnerable groups, safe schools, advocacy for wider social protection and global vaccine equity. The panel will reflect on key lessons learned over two years of TF work. First, that effective cross-country comparative work was made possible by the group's independence, interdisciplinarity, and high trust between its members. This mix of characteristics allowed for unencumbered weekly sharing of ideas, utilisation of data, insights available in local languages, and unique access to the front-line experience of members, those with positions in health authorities or advising national or regional governments. The second lesson is the importance of a flexible, bottom-up organisation, which allows the members to pursue individual research, education, and advocacy agendas while acting in concert. Cooperation between ASPHER Schools of Public Health existed before the pandemic, but the TF strengthened these relationships and made inter-school collaborations more frequent. Lesson three is a successful combination of policy advocacy, with shaping public health education and providing training opportunities for YPs. Thirteen YPs have been involved in the work of the COVID-19 TF since its inception, playing a critical role by preparing weekly situation reports, a horizon scanning exercise, surveys of ASPHER members, and contributing an early-career perspective to the groups’ outputs. Involving young public health professionals effectively in expert forums provides crucial training opportunities in knowledge transfer and leadership that should be more widely available. The panel will also reflect on how to set-up, build, scale-up, and sustain collaborations with wide geographic, cultural, linguistic, and political-administrative coverage to support the capacity and preparedness of public health institutions during future challenges. Key messages • The panel will recount key lessons from ASPHER’s COVID-19 Task Force: fostering independence, interdisciplinarity, and trust; a flexible, bottom-up organisation; and involving young professionals. • The panel will reflect on setting up collaborations across cultural and political-administrative boundaries to strengthen the advisory capacity of public health institutions during future challenges.

There is no relationship between anxiety and performance, however with a coefficient value of F = 8.763 with p = 0.000 (p<0.01) means perceived stigma and knowledge of the coronavirus with anxiety as an intervening variable together has a significant influence on performance on the covid-19 task force in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Model of Change in People’s Movement Due to Closed Environment During the Covid 19 Pandemic

Since the occurrence of the Corona-19 virus in 2020, the Ministry of Transportation has issued various policies, including PM No. 18 of 2020, PM No. 25 of 2020, and SE No. 4 of 2020. These policies have certainly had an impact on human movement.The purpose of this study was to see the magnitude of changes in community movement due to a closed environment during the Covid-19 pandemic and the model of community movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. To get a model of community movement that is appropriate by looking at the aspect of the relationship between community movements in DKI Jakarta and the spread of covid as the independent variable in building the model. Data sources for the decline in movement come from related agencies such as the Covid-19 Task Force (https://covid19.go.id/), and Google Mobility Report (GMR).The decrease in community movement due to the COVID-19 pandemic for retail and recreational activities decreased by 37%, grocery and pharmacy decreased by 13%, parking decreased by 48%, transit stations decreased by 61%, workplace decreased by 73%, and residential increased by 22 %. The results of the cubic polynomial modeling between the spread of Corona-19 Virus cases are in line with the independent variable time increment with the model results, namely Y = 5749.095 - 217.504 T + 2,403 T2 + 0.001 T3, with the dependent variable - Y, which is a cumulative case of Corona-19 Virus while the independent variable - X, is the time of the spread of Corona-19 Virus. This means that the number of people who are confirmed positive for the corona-19 virus will increase along with the cubic polynomial from the time after being infected following the Y = 5749.095 - 217.504·T + 2,403 T·2 + 0.001T·3 model.

The Disinfectant Diversion: The Use of Narratives in Partisan News Media

ABSTRACT The dysfunctions of American political media and their contributions to the erosion of modern democracy are actively being debated. In this light, there has been considerable empirical inquiry dedicated to understanding the role of narratives, storytelling, and the mythical “deep story” in the mobilization of the electorate. Here we seek to understand how narratives are employed by news outlets to make sense of media spectacles. We focus on coverage of the April 23, 2020 White House COVID-19 Task Force press briefing, during which President Donald Trump debated the effectiveness of sunlight and disinfectant injections in combating the virus. We conducted a qualitative analysis of all relevant articles, cable news coverage on this topic by CNN and Fox News, and Facebook posts on this topic issued by six media outlets from April 23, 2020, to April 26, 2020–a total of 115 articles, 87 television segments, and 41 Facebook posts. Our results reveal a reliance on several narratives in both the left- and right-wing media systems. These narratives all contribute to the overarching frames that are spun in ways that sow distrust and resentment throughout audiences across the partisan spectrum.

Clinical clustering with prognostic implications in Japanese COVID-19 patients: report from Japan COVID-19 Task Force, a nation-wide consortium to investigate COVID-19 host genetics

BackgroundThe clinical course of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is diverse, and the usefulness of phenotyping in predicting the severity or prognosis of the disease has been demonstrated overseas. This study aimed to investigate clinically meaningful phenotypes in Japanese COVID-19 patients using cluster analysis.MethodsFrom April 2020 to May 2021, data from inpatients aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with COVID-19 and who agreed to participate in the study were collected. A total of 1322 Japanese patients were included. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using variables reported to be associated with COVID-19 severity or prognosis, namely, age, sex, obesity, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, malignancy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hyperuricemia, cardiovascular disease, chronic liver disease, and chronic kidney disease.ResultsParticipants were divided into four clusters: Cluster 1, young healthy (n = 266, 20.1%); Cluster 2, middle-aged (n = 245, 18.5%); Cluster 3, middle-aged obese (n = 435, 32.9%); and Cluster 4, elderly (n = 376, 28.4%). In Clusters 3 and 4, sore throat, dysosmia, and dysgeusia tended to be less frequent, while shortness of breath was more frequent. Serum lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin, KL-6, d-dimer, and C-reactive protein levels tended to be higher in Clusters 3 and 4. Although Cluster 3 had a similar age as Cluster 2, it tended to have poorer outcomes. Both Clusters 3 and 4 tended to exhibit higher rates of oxygen supplementation, intensive care unit admission, and mechanical ventilation, but the mortality rate tended to be lower in Cluster 3.ConclusionsWe have successfully performed the first phenotyping of COVID-19 patients in Japan, which is clinically useful in predicting important outcomes, despite the simplicity of the cluster analysis method that does not use complex variables.

REVIEW OF COVID-19 TASK CIRCULAR LETTER NUMBER 20 YEAR 2021 ON MANDATORY QUARANTINE POLICY AFTER TAKING INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE (STUDY ON TRAVEL HUB HOTEL)

The phenomenon of the spread of the corona virus (Covid-19) which is very fast and uncontrolled has made the World Health Organization (WHO) stipulate that Covid-19 as a pandemic on March 12, 2020. In Indonesia, as one of the countries affected by Covid-19, has tried to make several policies in order to suppress the spread and limit the space for the transmission of Covid-19. One of these policies is the regulation of mandatory quarantine for Indonesian Citizens (WNI) and Foreign Citizens (WNA) who have traveled internationally as stated in the Covid-19 Task Force Circular No. 20 of 2021 concerning International Travel Health Protocols During the Covid-19 Pandemic. -19. The policy regarding the obligation to undergo quarantine during the pandemic has the potential for violations in terms of fulfilling human rights. This study examines more specifically the self-quarantine regulations that are placed in hotels with the components of all costs incurred not being borne by the government but by themselves. This type of research uses a normative juridical method with an approach to legislation and concepts related to self-quarantine. This study summarizes that the state policy regarding mandatory quarantine in an emergency situation such as the Covid-19 pandemic is something that is legally allowed, as long as the limitation of human rights is still in the derogable right group (which can be limited in its fulfillment). However, taking such action must be done carefully, and full of wisdom

Identification of Social Support and Knowledge of Covid-19 Survivors with Structural Equation Modeling in R

COVID-19 cases in Indonesia have finally reached a second peak amounting to 4 million cases. A number of the death rate was 3.4 percent, yet the recovery rate was 95.9 percent. The Health Ministry of Republic Indonesia through the Covid-19 Task Force has issued guidelines for preventing and controlling Covid-19 to decrease the death rate and increase the recovery rate. According to the guidelines, a person who undergoes quarantine needs to be provided with health care, and social and psychosocial support. This study seeks to identify the influence of external factors including social support, as well as internal factors including patient motivation, and knowledge on the recovery rate of Covid-19 survivors. The research methods use Structural Equation Modelling to determine the indicators that have the most significant influence on the latent variables of social support, knowledge, and motivation for healing Covid-19. Primary data collection was carried out online with a sample of 176 Covid-19 survivors across Indonesia in August 2021. The methods of the Shapiro-Wilk test for normal multivariate show the p-value at 0.00 significantly satisfies the assumption. The result shows that social support has a significant effect on knowledge with a regression coefficient is 0.263. Knowledge has a regression coefficient is 0.645 for the Healing of Covid-19. In conclusion, the higher social support provided by the patient's external parties: family, surrounding environment, and public health center officers, will impact the higher patient's knowledge and healing of Covid-19 disease. Meanwhile, social support has no significant effect on healing actions.
