Melaney Ricardo Reveals Reasons for Concern About the Implementation of New Normal in Indonesia

Kapanlagi.com - Melaney Ricardo admits to being worried about the upcoming implementation of the new normal in Indonesia. One of the reasons that worries her is the reopening of schools for children.

When met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, on Thursday (11/6) afternoon, Melaney said that children may easily forget to always adhere to health protocols. Therefore, this Batak-blooded presenter is not yet willing to allow her child to go back to school.

"Of course, that's why I'm really grateful if schools don't reopen in July 2020. Even if they do, I won't let my child go back to school because, well, they're kids, and even if we tell them not to take off their masks, they probably won't remember and easily forget," said Melaney Ricardo.

According to Melaney, the discourse of the new normal in Indonesia is still misunderstood by many. She also regrets the majority of Indonesian citizens who are ready to embrace the new normal but still neglect the implementation of health protocols.

"In my opinion, the new normal in Indonesia means that we have to adapt to this situation and please, people, don't think that the virus is not any more. No, the virus is still there," said Melaney.

2. Follow Health Protocols

Furthermore, the wife of Tyson James Lynch also reminds about health protocols. She emphasizes the importance of wearing masks correctly.

"Don't just wear the mask below the nose. It annoys me when I see people wearing masks like that. Wear it to cover the nose. Wash hands, maintain distance from others. That's all that needs to be done," she concluded.
