In Law No. 31 of 2009 concerning Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics and Government Regulation No. 11 of 2016 concerning Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Services related to BMKG, government institutions, and aid provider institutions Better as routine or as early. Problems related to the challenges in providing quality services and service information about weather and related interests do not only occur in Indonesia, but also in other countries. This is due to limited resources needed by this country. This problem was then carried out by BMKG to find alternative solutions to improve service information and complexity. The alternative that can be done is by partnering with the private sector or community. This study answers the questions and needs stated above, namely by making a prototype. Portable devices for easy use BMKG can use easy and simple. Thus many people and the private sector can use the prototype and related information and can be provided easily and simply. The technique used in taking measurement parameters is not expensive and the climate uses sensors installed in the NodeMCU v3 microcontroller. 5 weather and climate measurement parameters are used, namely air temperature & humidity, air pressure, wind speed, sunlight intensity and rainfall. The use of solar panels and dry batteries functioned as a power supply from this prototype design. The measurement results from the sensor by the microcontroller, then sent every 1 minute to the Raspberry Pi available in the operating room via a LAN connection and then recorded by history data. Then the data from the Raspberry is sent to the Web DB & Server Server every 1 hour via a VPN internet connection. Users can use weather information from the measurement results by accessing the Web Server via a VPN internet connection using a username & password that was previously registered.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on public access to health services. This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on commonly prescribed first-line antibiotics in English primary care. A secondary analysis of publicly available government data pertaining to primary care prescribing was conducted. A list of twenty first-line antibiotics used to treat common infections was developed following the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines. All primary care prescription and cost data pertaining to commonly prescribed first-line antibiotics in England between March and September of 2018–2020 were extracted and adjusted for inflation. Analysis suggests prescribing of antibiotics significantly reduced by 15.99% (p = 0.018) and 13.5% (p = 0.002) between March and September 2020 compared with same time period for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The most noticeable decrease in 2020 was noticed for prescribing for meningitis (−62.3%; p = 0.002) followed by respiratory tract infections (−39.13%; p = 0.035), in terms of indications. These results are suggestive of reduced transmission of infections in the community due to national lockdowns, social distancing and hygiene practices. In addition, the impact of reduced face-to-face consultations in general practices needs to be investigated as a potential reason for reduced prescribing. The pandemic also offers an opportunity to rationalize antibiotics use in the community.
