Mitigation analysis of Covid-19 pandemic on the medical sector in Indonesia

Abstract

In carrying out their duties, medical personnel have a high risk of being exposed to COVID-19, primarily if they are not supported by the Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) and well-planned mitigation scenarios from the Government. The large number of medical personnel affected by COVID-19 in Indonesia is evidence of the mitigation process's failure, even though the medical personnel's role in suppressing the outbreak's spread is vital and significant. Through the mixed exploratory method, there is a relationship or influence in the moderate category between the number of medical personnel in one province and the number of medical personnel infected with the corona. However, the relationship is not too significant. There is a unidirectional relationship, which means the higher the ratio of medical personnel in an area, the lower the ratio of medical personnel infected with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, from the factor of lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), it was found that there was a significant difference between WHO and government steps in optimizing the availability of PPE for medical personnel.
