The Jakarta administration has announced its plan to put stickers on the houses of residents currently self-isolating.
Tri Yunis Miko Wahyono, an epidemiologist of the University of Indonesia, said the stickers would immediately inform officers in the neighborhood about the health status of people living in the marked house.
“I think it is essential to use the stickers to inform other people about the health status of residents that live in the house,” Tri said on Tuesday as quoted by tempo.co, adding that it would warn other people planning to visit the house.
He went on to say that self-isolating at home would not be easy, although possible. Requirements include the house having a dedicated bathroom for the COVID-19 patient. “Putting on the sticker does not mean that [the government is disgracing the house’s residents, but simply informing other people near that house to stay alert,” he added.
