Responding to #IndonesiaTerserah, Jessica Iskandar Urges People to Empathize with Medical Workers

Kapanlagi.com - Jessica Iskandar responds to the trending hashtag #Indonesiaterserah. She says it is understandable that medical workers are disappointed to see people seemingly no longer caring about containing the spread of the coronavirus.

Because Jessica Iskandar, the girlfriend of Richard Kyle, has experienced the struggle of medical teams working at full risk to help save corona-positive victims.

"Actually, I can feel the doctors' need to work. Maybe they work 24 hours or maybe they don't go home and have to stay at the hospital and be far from their families," said Jessica Iskandar in Jakarta, recently.

1. Call on Citizens

Jessica urges, it is better for citizens to have empathy for medical workers by following the government's advice to stay at home. She is worried that if the number of corona patients increases, it will be more troublesome.

"They have sworn to help the community recover. But we, as individuals who are not doctors, must have empathy. Doctors have sacrificed a lot for the community," she said.

2. Request for Awareness

Jessica also asks the public to be aware of the dangers of the corona virus by not gathering in crowded places such as markets, malls, airports, and so on. Because, among the crowd, there may be someone spreading the virus.

"It could be a way to transmit the corona to parents or vulnerable people. It could happen. So hopefully awareness and mutual assistance must be carried out. Now we are being tested, the community must sacrifice to help the medical team by staying at home," she said.
