Papua Governor Lukas Enembe asked the people of Papua to be disciplined in carrying out health protocols implemented by the government.

This is so that the transmission of COVID-19 can be suppressed ahead of the implementation of the National Sports Week XX 2021, which is just counting the days.

"The Governor advised that all focus on maintaining the COVID-19 program properly so that we can watch all sports matches in National Sports Week, attended by spectators".

"Well then, this health protocol is very important to run. More specifically for people who live in four organizing clusters," said Governor Lukas Enembe through his Spokesman, Muhammad Rifai Darus, when giving a statement to the press on Thursday (08/19/2021).

The governor, still according to Rifai Darus, has also asked the relevant agencies to speed up the implementation of vaccinations, more specifically in the four implementation clusters of National Sports Week. This effort is to suppress COVID-19 transmission before the implementation of National Sports Week and National Paralympic Week events, can run optimally.

"Where there are about 600 thousand people in four implementation clusters who are targeted for vaccination"

"Of course, we also ask for community participation so that they can voluntarily carry out vaccinations in order to achieve herd immunity as expected by the government," he concluded.
