Abstract

COVID-19, discovered for the first time in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, has spread widely worldwide and has been declared a global pandemic. Due to the infectious nature of the disease, the WHO takes preventive measures to limit its spread by limiting human movement and interaction, which should be implemented thoroughly in all countries (1). This policy has a positive impact on reducing the spread of COVID-19. Still, it harms the control of other diseases that have traditionally been carried out through direct human-to-human interaction, such as dengue prevention. The COVID-19 control policy has at least two implications for dengue vector control in Indonesia, (1) the social distancing policy makes larva monitoring activities that were originally carried out by meeting resident's door to door unable to work, and (2) budget reorientation focused on COVID-19 then make the dengue program not optimal. Accordingly, this opinion emphasizes the importance of strengthened societal capacity in dengue vector control as an implication of COVID-19 disease.
