Harry Dalle (73), a Covid-19 survivor, sitting alone in the former room of his younger brother, Marthen Dalle, who died 3 months ago, at their home in Bekasi, West Java province, on December 26, 2020. As a survivor, Harry Dalle really felt how the Covid-19 that attacked him made him unable to care for his younger brother, Marthen Dalle, who was battling spinal cancer. The 15-day isolation period in the hospital left his younger brother, Marthen, who is the only family he lives with, neglected until his condition continued to deteriorate. And when Harry was tested negative for Covid-19, and returned home, he found his younger brother's condition which was very worrying, until Marthen died a few days later at 67, on September. The sadness and loss that Harry felt was even more pronounced when he had to spend Christmas alone. "The pandemic (Covid-19) has taken the person I really love, if I wasn't infected, I didn't have to be isolated, so I could continue to take better care of my brother." Harry said as he made a pilgrimage to Marthen's grave at Christmas.
