Addition Of COVID-19 Cases In Cirebon Dominated By Nomads

CIREBON - Cirebon Regency Health Office official, West Java, Dendi Hamdi said that the currently recorded addition of COVID-19 cases was dominated by residents who were migrating in Jakarta and had Cirebon ID cards.

"Of the 25 active cases, 20 of them are residents of Cirebon Regency who are currently in Jakarta," said Head of the Immunization and Surveillance Section for Disease Prevention and Control (P2P) of the Cirebon Regency Health Office, Dendi Hamdi in Cirebon, as reported by Antara, Thursday, January 27.

Dendi said that the positive confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Cirebon Regency had increased in the last few days.

In these two days, continued Dendi, there were 10 additional COVID-19 cases, namely on Wednesday, January 26 there were five cases, and on Thursday, January 27 also five, so that currently there are 25 active cases.

However, said Dendi, of the 25 cases, 20 of them are residents of Cirebon Regency who are migrating outside the city, to be precise in Jakarta.

"Because the ID cards are still Cirebon Regency, so the data goes to us, but actually they are in Jakarta," he said.

Dendi added that for residents living in Cirebon, currently there are only five people who have been confirmed positive, where they are self-isolating, and also the hospital.

With the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, his party urges the public to tighten health protocols when leaving the house.

"Health protocol and vaccinations must continue, in order to minimize the increase in cases," he said.
