“…The high seropositivity rate we observed among ultra‐orthodox Jews and Muslims contributed to the total seroprevalence rate found in this study. Previous studies have described how religious affiliation and communal ceremonies may have influenced SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission 19 . We also found that a larger family size was associated with seropositivity and this may provide another explanation for the high seroprevalence rate in this group.…”

Aim We evaluated the prevalence of paediatric severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infections using antibody testing and characterised antibody titres by time from exposure. Methods This was a single‐centre, prospective, cross‐sectional cohort study. Patients under 18 years old were eligible to participate if they attended the paediatric emergency department at the tertiary Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel, from 18 October 2020 to 12 January 2021 and required blood tests or intravenous access. SARS‐CoV‐2 seropositivity and antibody levels were tested by a dual‐assay model. Results The study comprised 1138 patients (56% male) with a mean age of 4.4 years (interquartile range 1.3–11.3). Anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies were found in 10% of the patients. Seropositivity increased with age and 41% of seropositive patients had no known exposure. Children under 6 years of age had higher initial antibody levels than older children, followed by a steeper decline. The seropositivity rate did not vary during the study, despite schools re‐opening. The findings suggest that children's immunity may start falling 4 months after the initial infection. Conclusion Immunity started falling after just 4 months, and re‐opening schools did not affect infection rates. These findings could aid decisions about vaccinating paediatric populations and school closures.

“…The keuchik obligated them to self-isolation with gampong's responsibility [9]. As seen in the above finding, Buonsenso et al [10] consider traditional concepts link religions with disease, since these concepts affect the responses of some categories of believers when in time of health crisis.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has become worldwide problems, nevertheless it needs local countermeasures to cope with the spread and negative impacts of COVID-19. Indonesia consists of many local wisdoms that can be used to prevent the infections as well as to protect the communities from further reverse influences of COVID-19. Thus, a community involvement is a key to curb the pandemic and its impacts by using local wisdoms. This paper is to show several local wisdoms that empower the community members to be able to solve their problems with their own ways in Indonesia. The methods of collecting information are to revisit from the recent study as well as some publications. The community involvements in several locations in Indonesia have brought some insights on how the local wisdoms can be employed as a tool to prevent and to reduce the impacts of COVID-19. As a result of these observations in Aceh, Gorontalo, Central Java and Southeast Moluccas, in the absence of ideal procedures on Covid-19 pandemic it is worthy to applying their local wisdoms in order to prevent the pandemic and to lessen its negative impacts to the communities. A collective action of the local community members becomes a lesson learnt to encounter an adversity for a particular community.
