333 NU Kiai Died
CNN Indonesia also reported that 333 clerics and scholars from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) had died during the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. This was based on a note conveyed by the General Chairperson of the Rabithah Ma'ahid Islamiyah NU Central Executive, Abdul Ghaffar Rozin.
The data was collected from February 2020 to January 26, 2021. "There were a total of 333 NU kiai who died in the midst of the pandemic until January 2021," said Rozin.
However, Rozin did not specify the number of NU kiai and clerics who died as a result of being confirmed positive for corona from the data. He only explained that not all NU kiai and scholars from the data had died because it was confirmed Covid-19.
"Although not all of them have been confirmed by Covid, we can conclude that considering the size of the deaths and the spike in numbers per month," he said.
According to him, the death of NU kiai and ulama increased after Eid Al-Fitr 2020. This figure continues to creep up after Eid al-Adha to date.
The deaths of NU kiai and clerics in February-May 2020 were around 9 people. That number continues to increase in July 2020 to 23 deaths. At the end of July 2020, there is the momentum of Eid al-Adha.
The number of kiai deaths increased dramatically in November 2020 by 187 people. The kiai's death fell in December 2020.
"Until January 2021, this has increased by 80 to a total of 333 people who died," said Rozin.
Rozin said the death rate for NU kiai and ulama in February 2020-January 2021 increased rapidly compared to the same period the previous year. "Throughout 2019, no more than 50 kiai [died]. This is a big loss, "he said. [DDHK News]
