Amid work-from-home implementation, the Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) Dept. of PetroChina hosted an online health talk about Covid-19 for employees on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.

PetroChina medical officer dr. Boy Hidayat and dr. Fatia Rahma led the health talk, which was joined by 123 employees. A PetroChina employee who recovered from Covid-19 also shared some stories about medical treatment for Covid-19 patients.

The health talk allowed employees to get more information from health professionals about Covid-19, including risk factors and the significance of rapid tests. Employees also had the chance to hear from COVID-19 survivor, who had to undergo a series of tests in an isolated hospital room. The survivor said that taking care of the mental health was equally important to improving our physical condition. “Being in isolation can be tough, so we must find ways to keep ourselves entertained,” the former patient said.
