The trio handed out masks, containers of hand sanitiser and bamboo slit drums, while demonstrating how to correctly wash hands, don masks and maintain security following reports of a spate of thefts in the residential area.

這一隊三人發放口罩、洗手液容器和竹縫鼓，一邊示範如何正確洗手、戴口罩和保持安全，在住宅區傳出大量竊盜案之後。

" (If the) superheroes support (the measures), the children will definitely obey the orders," said Widanarko, who coordinated the event aimed at teaching people to protect themselves.

協調這起旨在教導民眾自保的活動，維達納科說，「（如果）超級英雄支持（這些措施），孩童們絕對會服從命令。」

One resident, Herni Kurniawati, welcomed the effort, saying it would encourage people to change their habits to protect themselves.

居民赫爾尼．庫尼亞瓦蒂對這些努力表示歡迎，並說這會鼓勵民眾改變自身習慣以保護自己。

"Usually it’s very difficult to ask the children to wear masks because for them it’s a hassle," added Kurniawati. （Reuters）

庫尼亞瓦蒂補充道，「通常很難要求孩子戴口罩，因那對他們來說很麻煩。」（路透）
