Yellow Zone School Reopens

In my opinion, the government's action in giving permission to schools in the yellow zone to open during this pandemic has a very high risk of the spread of covid-19 which will become even wider. Although the school claims that its implementation applies health protocols, there are concerns that face-to-face learning can increase the spread of the corona virus. Doni Koesoema, an education observer at Multimedia Nusantara University, considered that the process of virus transmission in schools is very easy. Moreover, the opening of schools in yellow zone areas has several cases of local transmission and there are still many schools that do not strictly implement health protocols. The Ministry of Education and Culture noted that there were 79 districts / cities that violated the provisions for opening schools. In addition, there is a lack of sanitation facilities in schools in Indonesia, that is, only about 40% of schools in Indonesia already have proper sanitation facilities. In fact, this facility is very vital to prevent the spread of the Corona virus. Therefore, the government should review other aspects in order to minimize the spread of the virus before reopening schools.
