Reasons Why Indonesian People Find It Difficult to Stay at Home During the Covid-19 Corona Pandemic

Kapanlagi.com - On March 2, 2020, Indonesia declared that some of its citizens were infected with corona covid-19. Since then, the number of corona virus cases has been increasing every day. Even until now, there are no signs of a decrease in the number of corona-infected patients.

Regarding this matter, the government has also taken action. Several steps have been taken to break the chain of Covid-19 transmission. Starting from the implementation of social distancing, learning and working from home, and even religious worship is done at home. The latest measure implemented by the government is the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB).

However, it seems that this is not fully implemented by the community. Some of the government's efforts are being violated by some people with various accompanying reasons. So, why does this happen? What are the reasons why Indonesian people find it difficult to stay at home during the Covid-19 corona pandemic? Check out the following review:

1. No Compensation from the Government

It has been over a month since the Indonesian people chose self-quarantine to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. As a result, many of them have left their jobs and chosen to stay at home. Of course, this has had a negative impact on the economy of the affected citizens due to the COVID-19 virus.

Meanwhile, many people have chosen to continue their lives by seeking livelihoods during this pandemic. This is not without reason, as it is done to survive. Although the government has provided a solution to stay at home, there is no compensation from the government for the people who choose to violate this instruction.

If the government is willing to provide compensation to its citizens, the survival of the people can still be guaranteed and it becomes an opportunity for them to live in other places. If this cannot be implemented, then many people will risk returning to their hometowns or starting to work again.

2. Society Begins to Feel Bored

Amidst the spread of the coronavirus, people are asked to stay at home to prevent the spread of the virus. It is not easy to stay indoors continuously without knowing when this virus will end.

In a situation like this, feelings of boredom, fatigue, and loneliness are understandable as people have to restrain themselves from going out. As a result, many people start leaving their homes in the midst of the corona pandemic.

The behavior of the society that is bored due to COVID-19 is starting to be understood because people are aware of the consequences. In addition, explanations about COVID-19 often use the same pattern, which is a repetitive symbol pattern. As a result, it makes people bored and tired, and they are considered unresponsive to this situation.

Therefore, with the continuously repeated pattern, people already understand what the restrictions are. Thus, there is a need for more effective efforts so that people are more proactive in self-control and do not underestimate this virus.

3. Lack of Education and Socialization

Amidst the panic and concerns of the Indonesian community due to this pandemic, there are still many people who do not understand the impact of this virus. Many of them still underestimate this deadly virus. They continue to choose to gather, hang out, or some people still travel.

This can happen due to a lack of knowledge about this pandemic. In addition, the government needs to be more diligent in informing the public. Another thing that needs to be done is to build initiatives and movements from the government to realize the danger of this virus from the beginning.

It would be good for those who are still busy hanging out or gathering to change that to online activities. Especially since this corona pandemic coincides with the tradition of people returning to their hometowns for Eid. Therefore, quick steps need to be taken to be understood by some of the public.
