Kapanlagi.com - The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all layers of Indonesian society. Many people have had to postpone their work or even lose their source of income. This is also felt by the MC and film actor 25 HARI DI EROPA, Richard Ricardo.

Since March, no less than 20 events where Richard Ricardo acted as an MC have been canceled. Not to mention that several programs have also been postponed until an undetermined time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"From March to May, I personally had a total of around 21 canceled events and 6 shooting programs as a host on YouTube channels for several products / platforms that were postponed or delayed indefinitely," said Richard Ricardo when interviewed by journalists recently.

1. Selling Masks & Hand Sanitizers

Not wanting to just stay silent. Richard Ricardo tried another business. Finally, he tried selling COVID-19 prevention needs, such as masks and hand sanitizers.

"Yes, I see many people having difficulty getting masks and hand sanitizers. Even if they are available, they are very expensive. I took the initiative to sell them all but still at normal prices," said Richard.

2. Hoping for Government Assistance

Until now, the government has fulfilled its duty by providing assistance. Richard appreciates this. However, he also urges the government to pay attention to freelance workers like himself.

"Ideally, government assistance should target the lower class. I also hope that the government pays attention to freelance workers in the entertainment industry, at least providing assistance or support because my fellow professionals are all complaining. We event workers can only rely on our savings to survive, hoping the government also fulfills our basic needs," he said.

3. Increase Nutritious Food

In addition to following the government's advice to stay at home, Richard also protects himself with healthy and nutritious food. Vegetables and fruits are his daily consumption.

"Increase the consumption of nutritious food such as vegetables and fruits and eat regularly 3 times a day, in addition to taking vitamins every day, sunbathing and exercising at home," he explained.

At the end of the conversation, Richard hopes that this pandemic will pass quickly, COVID-19 patients recover, and the situation returns to normal. "Hopefully, COVID-19 positive patients recover quickly, the cure is found soon, and everyone should always maintain cleanliness at least for themselves," Richard hopes.
