53 Workers Of Oil And Gas Companies In Anambas Positive For COVID-19

JAKARTA - As many as 53 workers of offshore premier oil oil and gas companies in Anambas Regency, Riau Islands Province (Kepri) tested positive for COVID-19.

"The information we received was like that, but all workers have been brought to Jakarta for intensive treatment," said the Daily Chair of the COVID-19 Task Force for Anambas Regency, Riau Islands Province, Sahtiar, as reported by Antara, Sunday, August 30.

Furthermore, the entire list of positive workers for COVID-19 entered Jakarta's data, not Anambas. In addition, all of the places where the COVID-19 spread is offshore.

However, his party continues to regularly monitor at the operating base of the oil and gas cooperation contractor in Matak, Anambas Regency, both those returning from offshore and from Jakarta to anticipate the transmission of COVID-19 in the area.

The Task Force also communicates with the oil and gas company to keep them informed of the latest developments in Matak and offshore.

"People don't need to worry, but they still follow health protocols by using masks, washing their hands regularly, and keeping their distance," he said.
