"Reflecting on the current pandemic conditions, which constantly (needed) to be suppressed, various efforts have been made by the governments of many countries in formulating proper interventions to reduce COVID-19 cases," Ayers Gilberth Ivano Kalaij who represented his winning team, remarked here on Tuesday.
Kalaij's teammates were Nathaniel Gilbert Dyson (FKUI 2019), Valerie Josephine Dirjayanto (FKUI 2019), and Stella Kristi Triastari (FKUI 2019).
Compliance with the #stayathome intervention, such as quarantine, was still low, has said.
Therefore, he explained, his team performed a meta-analysis of factors that influence people's compliance with the #stayathome intervention.
His team also provided recommendations to improve compliance with the related regulations, in the hope of lowering the cases of COVID-19.
In addition to Kalaij's team's victory, another team led by Syaharani Martiza Hakim (FKUI 2020) won second place in the Conference Film Auvert category.
Hakim's team which consisted of Cokorda Istri Agung Dewinta Adnyani (FKUI 2020), Alisha Damara Praditya (FKUI 2020), and Muhammad Candrika Agyawisnu Yuwono (FKUI 2020), created a work of film titled A Bitter Truth, that was featured at the 2022 EAMSC.
"A Bitter Truth is an Auvert film inspired by the reality of daily socio-economic conditions of Indonesian people (that have been affected) by the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that the public can consider the economic challenges faced by others, especially the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)," Hakim said.
