T
o raise awareness, murals are being used to alert people of the dangers of COVID-19 and remind them to follow health protocols during the pandemic.
Many of such murals can be found in South Jakarta, all reminding people to be active in antivirus campaigns.
Messages such as bersama lawan COVID-19 (together we fight COVID-19), (#StayAtHome), lekas sembuh bumiku (get well quick my Earth), disiplin memakai masker (disciplined in wearing face masks) adorn the walls of buildings and parks.
The use of murals is expected to draw more attention from people who may lack awareness about the dangers of the disease.
Many people pass by without wearing a mask.
The number of COVID-19 patients in Jakarta is reportedly still high, prompting the city administration to extend large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) to mid-October.
