Meanwhile, the Head of BRSPDF "Wirajaya" in Makassar, Syaiful Samad, said that the implementation of this counseling is very important and a measure, even though in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, employees must remain productive in carrying out their duties in providing social rehabilitation services for Persons with Physical Disabilities.

Furthermore, Syaiful also hopes that Balai employees must remain productive in providing services for persons with disabilities, in accordance with the direction of the Director General of Social Rehabilitation (Dirjen Rehsos) of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Harry Hikmat. Of course, the Counseling Guidance is a strategic step to increase the productivity of social rehabilitation services for people with disabilities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
