Task Force: OKU District Zero COVID-19 Cases

BATURAJA - Ogan Komering Ulu Regency in South Sumatra Province has no cases of COVID-19 and has entered the green zone on the map of the spread of the coronavirus.

"Thank God, OKU Regency currently has zero COVID-19 cases," said Secretary of the Task Force for Handling COVID-19 Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Amzar Kristopa in Baturaja, Saturday, May 14.

He said that the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in OKU Regency totaled 1,175 cases with 1,065 patients who had recovered and 110 patients who died.

According to him, the last three COVID-19 sufferers who underwent self-isolation have finished undergoing quarantine and were declared cured in early April 2022.

Amzar stated that the decline in the number of COVID-19 cases was the result of the hard work of the task force and related agencies in preventing and overcoming the transmission of the disease.

He appealed to OKU residents to continue to comply with health protocols to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus from reappearing.

"Because health protocols are still a powerful way to prevent the spread of COVID-19," he said, quoted by Antara.
