This meeting was held to discuss cooperation between the Bali Police and Udayana University to tackle the spread of COVID-19 and create a sense of security and comfort for the people in the midst of a pandemic.
The Bali Police Chief asked Udayana University to use the knowledge and knowledge possessed by the academic community to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and the Regional Police was ready to support relevant steps to overcome the impacts caused by this pandemic. Unud is also expected to be able to help educate the public in the prevention and spread of this virus. One of the steps that will be taken is cooperation in making disinfectants for the community. The Regional Police will support in terms of raw materials and the Unud team is asked to draw up a formula in accordance with scientific standards, so that it can provide optimal benefits for the community.
Later disinfectants and hand sanitizers produced will be distributed to the public. This product will also be provided at service units within the Bali Regional Police in an effort to develop a clean living. The Bali Regional Police will also use Unud production disinfectants to be sprayed on public facilities. The Kapolda also plans to utilize the resources available in Bali for the manufacture of masks and the Unud team is expected to be able to design designs and materials that will be used, so that they meet the needs.
While Unud Rector Prof. A.A Raka Sudewi welcomed this cooperation and is ready to work in synergy with the Bali Police to eliminate anxiety and provide security and comfort for the community. The campus has also taken preventative measures in accordance with instructions from the Ministry. Students have done online learning and activities on campus have been reduced to reduce crowds. In addition, Udayana University through PTN Hospital is also ready to support government policy to break the chain of COVID-19 distribution by becoming a special hospital for isolation of COVID-19 patients.
On this occasion the Bali Police Chief also handed over the aid of raw materials in the form of wine that had been confiscated to be distilled into alcohol which would later become the material for making disinfection by the Unud Team. The distillery lab was also briefly reviewed by the Bali Police Chief together with the Chancellor of Udayana University and received an explanation of the manufacturing mechanism from the laboratory manager Dr. I Made Agus Gelgel Wirasuta.
This is a form of joint service between the Bali Police and Udayana University to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19 on the island of Bali.
