ECleveland, eOhio — Oogqirha nabahlengikazi bathe kwingxelo kaRhuluneli uMike DeWine ngoLwesibini ukuba iingcali zonyango kulo lonke ilizwe zidiniwe ngenxa yokunqongophala kwabasebenzi kunye nokunqongophala kwezixhobo ngexesha lokunyuka kwe-COVID-19. Oku kwenza kube nzima ngakumbi ukunyamekela isigulana.
UGqr. Suzanne Bennett weZiko lezeMpilo leYunivesithi yaseCincinnati uthe ngenxa yokunqongophala kwabahlengikazi kulo lonke ilizwe, amaziko ezonyango amakhulu ezemfundo ayasokola ukunyamekela izigulane.
UBennett uthe: “Kudala umbono ongenakucingelwa mntu. Asinandawo yokwamkela izigulana ebezinokuxhamla kunyango kwezi ziko zikhulu zonyango.”
UTerri Alexander, umongikazi obhalisiweyo kwiSumma Health eAkron, uthe izigulana eziselula azibonileyo azizange ziphinde zifumane mpendulo kunyango ngaphambili.
“Ndicinga ukuba wonke umntu apha udiniwe ngokweemvakalelo,” utshilo uAlexander. “Kunzima ukufikelela kwinqanaba lethu langoku labasebenzi, sinqongophele izixhobo, kwaye sidlala umdlalo wokulinganisela ibhedi nezixhobo esiwudlala yonke imihla.”
UAlexander uthe abantu baseMelika abaqhelanga ukugxothwa ezibhedlele okanye ukuxinana kakhulu kwaye abakwazi ukubeka izalamane zabo ezigulayo kwigumbi lokhathalelo oluphezulu.
Isicwangciso songxamiseko saphuhliswa kunyaka ophelileyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba kukho iibhedi ezaneleyo ngexesha lobhubhane, njengokuguqulwa kwamaziko eenkomfa kunye nezinye iindawo ezinkulu zibe ziindawo zesibhedlele. UGqr. Alan Rivera, umhlali kwiZiko lezeMpilo laseFulton County kufutshane neToledo, uthe iOhio ingayibeka inxalenye ebonakalayo yesicwangciso songxamiseko endaweni, kodwa ingxaki kukuba kukho ukunqongophala kwabasebenzi bokunyamekela izigulane kwezi ndawo.
URivera uthe inani labasebenzi abangongikazi kwiZiko lezeMpilo laseFulton County lincitshiswe ngama-50% kuba abahlengikazi baye bashiya, bathatha umhlala-phantsi, okanye bafuna eminye imisebenzi ngenxa yoxinzelelo lweemvakalelo.
URivera uthe: “Ngoku sinokwanda kwamanani kulo nyaka, kungengenxa yokuba sinezigulane ezininzi ze-COVID, kodwa ngenxa yokuba sinabantu abambalwa abanyamekela inani elifanayo lezigulana ze-COVID.”
UDeWine uthe inani labantu abalaliswa esibhedlele abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-50 ubudala liyanda kweli lizwe. Uthe malunga ne-97% yezigulana ze-COVID-19 zabo bonke ubudala kwizibhedlele zase-Ohio azikagonywa.
UAlexander uthe uyayamkela imithetho yokugonya eza kuqala ukusebenza eSuma kwinyanga ezayo. UBennett uthe uyayixhasa imvume yokugonya ukunceda iOhio yonyuse amazinga okugonya.
“Ngokucacileyo, le yingongoma eshushu, kwaye yimeko ebuhlungu…kuba ifikelele kwinqanaba apho kufuneka sicele urhulumente ukuba athathe inxaxheba ekunyanzeliseni izinto esizaziyo ukuba zisekelwe kwisayensi nakubungqina, ezinokuthintela ukufa,” utshilo uBennett.
UBennett uthe kusaza kubonakala ukuba umhla wokugqibela wokusetyenziswa kwemithi yokugonya kwiSibhedlele iGreater Cincinnati uza kubangela ukuba abantu baphume na ngexesha lokunqongophala kwabasebenzi.
UDeWine uthe ucinga ngenkuthazo entsha yokukhuthaza abemi baseOhio ukuba bagonywe. I-Ohio ibibambe iraffle yezigidi ngeveki zabemi baseOhio abaye bafumana ubuncinane inaliti enye ye-COVID-19 ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Ilottery inika amabhaso e-$1 yezigidi kubantu abadala veki nganye kunye neebhaso zekholeji kubafundi abaneminyaka eli-12 ukuya kweli-17.
“Sixelele onke amasebe ezempilo kurhulumente ukuba ukuba ufuna ukubonelela ngemali, ungenza njalo, kwaye siya kuyihlawulela,” utshilo uDevin.
UDeWine uthe akazange athathe inxaxheba kwingxoxo malunga noMthetho weNdlu 248 obizwa ngokuba yi-“Goccine Selection and Anti-Discrimination Act”, oza kuthintela abaqeshi, kuquka amaziko ezonyango, kwaye ude ufune abasebenzi ukuba baveze imeko yabo yokugonya.
Abasebenzi bakhe bafuna iindlela zokunceda izithili zesikolo ezijongene nokunqongophala kwabaqhubi beebhasi ngenxa yobhubhane. “Andazi ukuba singenza ntoni, kodwa ndicele iqela lethu ukuba libone ukuba singafumana na iindlela zokunceda,” utshilo.
