On Monday, 03/09, I as the owner & founder of 'Rujak Salak Pliek u khas Bireuen' [traditional food] in the city of Lhokseumawe, was still active as usual. That day I still received an order to fill an event at one of the ceremonial party (Circumcision of the Apostles) which was in the Meunasah Mesjid, Lhokseumawe. As usual, after the activities there, then I still carry out transactions with the buying until the afternoon at our shop located on the street of the Tunas Bangsa stadium, Lhokseumawe.
Fourth days later, Friday (3/13), I experienced influenza, accompanied by fever and dry cough. At first I suspected it was just a weather factor that was undergoing a transition period in ou city and did not want to assume any further - the matter of Covid19 (Coronavirus) was not yet popular in Aceh, Indonesia at that time. Even so, some patients in care (PDP) reportedly already existed in RSUZA Banda Aceh Hospital, although not yet positive covid19.
Recalling the history of my previous meeting with relatives, I also had a paranoid thinking, I met a friend who weeks ago had just returned from Australia. We greet each other, say hello because this is the first time we have met since he returned from the land of the Kangaroo. That was what had briefed my mind about Covid19, so I went to the local healthy agency for check my condition.
That morning, I also did a medical check up, after receiving the information I gave, Mrs. Doctor at the hospital, suggested that I must isolate myself for 14 days, while prescribing every 3 days, even though I did not convict me of positive Covid-19, but that was one alternative that could be done in prevention as early as possible, then suggested that I go back to the hospital if my health condition is still unstable.
That day was the hardest decision, considering that I had to stop my usual activities, my business was certainly losing money, it's so difficult choice. But I have to decide the best, finally I isolate myself, isolate the family (wife and children) brought them to hometown, shut down (close for a moment) my business as only one of our income at this time.
It's was the good news, I did not feel that I had been through two exciting, gloomy weeks, overshadowed by the fear of Covid19, isolating myself, social distancing with colleagues, family, and even temporarily closing business premises. What an extraordinary thing I've been through. Now my health has improved, 3 times I did a check-up to the hospital which incidentally I only experienced influenza, coughing and fever which should only be treated once God will surely recover.
Since in the period of independent isolation, I have tried to share every piece of information about COVID19 that began to plague in Indonesia. There is no to scary my community, I just invite them to be introspective, willing to try to sacrifice for the benefit of the people. Social distancing, staying at home, so that the COVID19 chain does not continue to take its risk for another.
Now in Aceh already has a positive covid-19 case, 5 case and 1 died in medical facelities, hopefully there is a personal awareness of their selves to really take care of their selves and family health. At this time I chose to rest at home with my family, Hopefully this pandemic will soon be over.
Everyday now I just stay at home, no longer trading. We are now waiting for further instructions from the local government, this condition is indeed a dilemma, especially in the next three weeks we as Muslims will enter the month of Ramadan.
To fill my spare time during independent quarantine at home, I just play the cellphone camera to get rid of the boredom. There is nothing to do but stay at home and maintain personal and family health.
Keep Spirit and Stay at Home
