The Applications of "New Normal" in Indonesia
Hy everyone!
My name is Margiana from class 4C and I will write about the application of "New Normal" in Indonesia.
1. Deffinition of New Normal
The definition of new normal is a scenario to accelerate the handling of Covid-19 in health and socio-economic aspects. The Indonesian government has also echoed plans to carry out a new normal scenario taking into account regional readiness and epidemiological studies.
This step was taken to restore Indonesia's economy. The government has also set up 'rules' to undergo new normal or new normalcy. Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto has prepared a health protocol related to new normal life through Circular Letter number HK.02.01 / MENKES / 335/2020 concerning prevention of Corona virus transmission in the business and trade sector workplaces in support of business continuity.
2. Positive Facts
With new normal, the government can speed up all the time it decides, so that it hopes to be able to provide a fast response as well. Then, with the new normal condition, it saves central and regional government spending because it cannot be spent during the corona pandemic or Covid-19. New normal makes business travel budget more efficient, unlike the old days that most use in full. Furthermore, the positive impact of new normal is that the government is now more able to predict spending accurately, especially spending which is unexpected.
The implementation of new normal will also have a positive impact on the economy. Because the trading activity will start moving again. Therefore, it is currently preparing a policy related to mobility and transportation in order to facilitate the community in living a new life order. Of course, health protocols are more stringent than usual.
With the presence of 'The New Normal' in the field of tourism, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Wishnutama Kusubandio invites the tourism industry to apply health protocols to build consumer confidence so that they can carry out tourism activities safely and comfortably. Seeing some things that are being prepared by the government to restore the tourism sector, it seems that there will be some positive impacts that are felt from the strategy of implementing 'The New Normal' in the field of tourism.
3. Negative Facts
If it turns out that Indonesia is not ready to face New Normal, the consequences could have an impact that triggers the second wave of co-19. In other words, positive cases of the Corona virus will surge.Even countries that have successfully implemented New Normal are still affected by the second wave. The feared impact of New Normal Indonesia could also make the spread of Covid-19 even more widespread.Compared to other countries, the positive case of Covid-19 in Indonesia is still relatively high or increasing. If you don't pay attention, it certainly can potentially add to what people often refer to as the second wave.
The New Normal activity in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic is compared to two sides of a coin. There is potential that can improve the economy. But there is a great risk of an increase in positive cases of the Corona virus. The New Normal value system is a mixture of abnormalities, both those below and above normal. New Normal is what is currently being asked to be applied by the community.
Related to the impact of New Normal Indonesia, of course it depends on the habits of life of each individual.
Because, there are people who are used to various limitations under normal. Then continued in the post pandemic period. There are also people who are in conditions below normal that are over compensated. But there are also those who have normalcy that remains unchanged before the pandemic, when the pandemic and post-pandemic occurred.
