Independen --- At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, medical personnel had to take risks because of limited personal protective equipment (PPE). As happened in Tabanan, Bali. Medical personnel have to use plastic raincoats, because there is no PPE.
After they got PPE, they felt more comfortable and relieved. Besides not being as hot as wearing a raincoat, it also feels safer. However, after using, removing PPE must be careful, if one is wrong, the risk of infection occurs.
