Fasting in the Midst of the Corona Pandemic, Dewi Perssik Doesn't Forget to Exercise

Kapanlagi.com - Observing fasting during this year's Ramadan, which coincides with the corona pandemic, Dewi Perssik continues to do productive activities, one of which is exercising. Besides exercising, DePe, Dewi Perssik's nickname, keeps herself busy by gathering with her family.

"I just finished exercising and being active during this Covid-19 pandemic, such as doing sports and spending time with my family. Exercise is important for our health, and gathering with family is to optimize time because I work every day. In fact, meeting my family is very rare," said Dewi Perssik when contacted by the media on Friday (25/4/2020).

1. Not Daring to Leave the House

In addition, DePe also does not dare to leave the house even though there is a job offer from a television station. He still follows the government's advice to stay at home to prevent COVID-19.

"Actually, there is an offer from a TV station to participate in talk shows, suhoor, be a guest, and break the fast, but I am still not brave enough to leave the house because of the current situation and I follow the government's advice to stay at home. Insha Allah, I can find sustenance. But if I go out of the house for health reasons, I am afraid that my efforts will be in vain and I am afraid of getting infected. That's why I have to filter where I work, who I meet, and others. When I go home, I meet my child, Gabriel, and I'm afraid that I might bring in germs or viruses, so I'm afraid that they will get infected because of me," said Dewi.

2. Preparing for a Healthy Life

Facing Ramadan in the midst of the COVID-19 situation, DePe has prepared for it by living a healthy life. DePe also prioritizes his productivity during fasting.

"One of the preparations is to be healthy so that I can fast smoothly. The preparations include gathering with family, cooking for the family and for suhoor, exercising to be healthier, and engaging in activities such as making cakes and herbal medicine," said Dewi.
