KANIGARAN – Penerapan physical distancing (jaga jarak fisik) terlihat saat Shalat Jumat digelar di Masjid Al-Ikhlas Pemerintah Kota Probolinggo, Jumat (27/3). Selain itu, protokol kesehatan juga diterapkan sebelum jamaah memasuki masjid.
Satu-persatu, jamaah shalat Jumat melalui proses pemeriksaan suhu tubuh dengan menggunakan thermo gun dan penggunaan hand sanitizer. Memasuki masjid, sebuah titik pembatas sederhana juga disediakan untuk mengatur saf shalat Jumat. Di luar masjid, juga disediakan terpal tambahan untuk mengantisipasi jika kapasitas masjid tidak mencukupi.
Sebelum memulai shalat Jumat, Asisten Pemerintahan Kota Probolinggo, Paeni, yang juga bertindak sebagai Imam Shalat Jumat siang tadi kembali mengingatkan jamaah untuk tetap berdiri pada titik pembatas yang telah disiapkan takmir masjid.
Upaya ini sesuai dengan Surat Edaran Wali Kota Probolinggo terkait imbauan pelaksanaan shalat Jumat di Kota Probolinggo di tengah semakin maraknya wabah virus corona Covid-19.
Dalam surat edaran tersebut, dijelaskan bahwa masjid yang lokasinya berada di lingkungan masyarakat jauh dari jalan protokol, nasional maupun provinsi, apabila shalat Jumat masih digelar, maka harus memenuhi sejumlah ketentuan, termasuk melipat karpet, menyemprot disinfektan, menyediakan hand sanitizer, pemeriksaan suhu badan dan jamaah membawa sajadah sendiri. Jamaah juga diimbau tidak berjabat tangan dan mengatur jarak 1 meter dalam saf shalat.
Sementara itu, masjid-masjid yang berada di sepanjang jalan protokol atau jalan provinsi yang banyak tamu musafir, maka di masjid tersebut sementara waktu tidak melaksanakan shalat Jumat. Bisa diganti shalat Duhur di rumah masing-masing, sampai kondisi dinyatakan normal oleh pemerintah.
Paeni menyatakan untuk menerapkan protokol kesehatan selama pelaksanaan shalat Jumat, pemerintah akan selalu berusaha membantu takmir masjid dalam hal pemenuhan perlengkapan termasuk thermo gun dan hand sanitizer.
“Untuk beberapa masjid yang kapasitasnya besar, kami koordinasikan dengan Dinas Kesehatan supaya dibantu. Termasuk Masjid Agung Roudlotul Jannah yang memang menjadi percontohan dalam kepatuhan terhadap kebijakan pemerintah yang disepakati oleh tokoh agama,” ujar Paeni.
Lalu, bagaimana dengan masjid lain yang ingin menggelar shalat Jumat namun belum bisa memenuhi protokol kesehatan? Paeni mengaku pihaknya akan terus memantau perkembangannya dan melakukan koordinasi untuk mengatasi masalah ini.
“Kita akan terus melakukan koordinasi dan melakukan pemantauan. Memang tidak bisa langsung kita penuhi semua, karena saat ini memang barangnya langka. Sambil jalan, kita akan carikan solusinya,” terangnya.
Paeni juga menyebut respon sejumlah masjid untuk mematuhi kebijakan ini sudah cukup baik. Melalui sejumlah laporan yang ia terima, sejumlah masjid di sepanjang jalan protokol, dimana banyak musafir yang akan berkunjung, telah sepakat untuk tidak menggelar shalat Jumat.
Hingga saat ini, upaya pencegahan penyebaran virus corona Covid-19 memang terus digalakkan oleh pemerintah. Dengan semakin meningkatnya jumlah pasien yang terinfeksi, sejumlah kebijakan telah ditetapkan untuk menekan angka peneyebarannya.
“Mudah-mudahan kesadaran masyarakat akan semakin tumbuh. Kita harus bersama-sama menghadapi ini, kompak, dengan cara mematuhi kebijakan protokoler yang diatur oleh pemerintah. Setelah itu, baru kita tawakal, pasrah kepada Allah SWT,” pungkas Paeni. (alfien-hamzah)
Physical distancing measures were taken at the Al-Ikhlas Mosque, Probolinggo municipal administration when a Friday prayer was held on Friday (3/27). Besides, health protocols were also applied before worshipers entering the mosque.
One to another, the worshipers went through a body-temperature checking process using a thermal scanner and use a hand sanitizer. Entering the mosque, a simple restrictive point was also provided to arrange Friday prayer distance. Outside the mosque, additional tarps were also provided to anticipate if the mosque's capacity is insufficient.
Before starting Friday prayers, the Assistant for Governance Affairs of Probolinggo City, Paeni, who also acted as the Imam of Friday Prayer again reminded worshipers to remain standing at the point set by the mosque's caretakers.
This effort is following the Circular Letter of the Probolinggo Mayor related to the call for the implementation of Friday prayers in Probolinggo city amid the increasing outbreak of pandemic coronavirus COVID-19.
In the circular letter, it was stated that the mosque which was located in a community environment far from the major roads, national and provincial roads, a number of provisions must be fulfilled if the Friday prayer is still held. This includes folding the carpets, spraying disinfectants, providing hand sanitizers, checking body temperature and the worshipers must bring their own prayer mat. They are also highly urged not to shake hands and set a distance of 1 meter away from each worshiper.
Meanwhile, the mosques located along the major roads including provincial roads with more travelers visiting, the mosque should not hold Friday prayers. It can be replaced by Dzuhur prayers at their respective homes until the conditions declared normal by the government.
Paeni stated that to implement health protocols during the Friday prayers, the government will always try to help the mosque caretakers in terms of fulfilling equipment including thermal scanner and hand sanitizer.
"For several mosques with large capacities, we coordinate with the Agency of Health to assist. Including the Great Mosque of Roudlotul Jannah which is indeed a pilot project in compliance with government policies agreed upon by religious leaders," said Paeni.
Then, what about other mosques which want to hold Friday prayers but cannot fulfill the health protocol? Paeni admitted that he will continue to monitor its progress and make coordination to overcome the problem.
"We will continue to make coordination and monitor. Indeed, we cannot directly fulfill all requests, because right now the goods are scarce. We will find a solution," he explained.
Paeni also said the response of several mosques to comply with this policy was good. Through many reports he received, several mosques along the major roads, where many travelers will visit, have agreed not to hold Friday prayers.
Until now, efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 continue to be encouraged by the government. With the increasing number of infected patients, several policies have been established to reduce the spread.
"Hopefully public awareness will grow. We must deal with this together, by complying with the protocol policies set by the government. After that, then we will trust, surrender to Allah," concluded Paeni. (alfien_tr)
