5. A Community Perception of COVID-19 study was launched by the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) and the
   International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) that gathered responses from
   19 provinces. Some of the findings and recommendations of the study are:
     • The main information channels for COVID-19 are internet and social media (reached 46% of
         people), which highlights the importance of using the right information channels;
     • The most trusted sources of information are health services (45.9%) such as hospitals, Community
         Health Centres and the auxiliary Community Health Centres, but health workers also encounter
         social stigma challenges; and
     • The most preferred feedback channel is social media (45.2%), which far exceeds the use of the
         feedback hotline (28.4%) which is generally used more by service providers.
