Since Coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, President Joko Widodo issued Presidential Decree (Keppres) no. 7 of 2020 in relation to the Creation of COVID-19 National Task Force on March 13, 2020, chaired by the Head of BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency). The Head of BNPB, as the Chairperson of the Task Force for accelerating the response measures to COVID-19, stated that the Status of the Coronavirus Outbreak Disaster in Indonesia was extended until 29 May 2020. With the stipulation of COVID-19 as a non-natural disaster, its management is not only the responsibility of the government, but it requires the involvement of all communities and community-based organizations, including local government, community leaders and religious leaders, in the delivery of public education and campaigns.

YAKKUM (Christian Foundation for Public Health) have been mobilized to coordinate and collaborate with YAKKUM hospitals, such as Bethesda Hospital for COVID-19 countermeasures in Yogyakarta including mapping the urgent needs both in health institutions, community groups, and church communities. However, as more patients with potential COVID-19 arrive, hospitals need to be equipped with adequate medical infrastructure according to health standards and additional health support personnel (medical and non-medical). Let's fight COVID19 together and support us!
