The Machine Maintenance and Repair Study Program under the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Politeknik Negeri Ketapang (Ketapang State Polytechnic) once again conducted a Community Service (PKM) activity on Friday (26/6/2020). The activity took place at Baitussalam Mosque, Dalong, Sukaharja Village, Ketapang Regency. The activity involved spraying disinfectant at places of worship as part of efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19. It was attended by lecturers and local community leaders.

Epriyandi, as the Head of the Community Service Team, conveyed that the objective of this activity was to curb the spread of Covid-19 in places of worship used by the public. The sprayed areas included high-touch surfaces such as door handles, light switches, washbasins, water faucets, floors, glass, and other areas using a modified nozzle.

The team, which includes Beti Ses Eka Polonia, Helanianto, Yusuf, Asep Ruchiyat, Muh. Anhar, Hairian Rahmadi, and Ismael Marjuki, hopes that this activity will become a routine agenda during the Covid-19 pandemic. All parties, including the surrounding community, must cooperate to fight and prevent the spread of Covid-19 to keep the virus from spreading further and infecting more people.
