"Two people (positive for COVID-19), one male, one female, we propose to the Health Office to be taken to the Athlete's House after the antigen swab test, which usually never misses because of approaching PCR," said the Director of Narcotics Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Mukti Juharsa at Polda Metro Jaya reported by Antara, Friday.

Mukti said both of them were taken to the Kemayoran Athlete Hospital Emergency Hospital for further examination and treatment.

The officers of the Metro Jaya Police's Narcotics Research Directorate secured as many as 25 people consisting of visitors and staff of D'Bunker Bar.

When checked regarding the identities of the two people who were positive for COVID-19, Mukti said both of them were D'Bunker Bar employees. "Both are D'Bunker Bar employees," he said.

Officers from the Directorate of Narcotics Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya together with Satpol PP and TNI and Military Police conducted joint health protocol raids targeting people who are desperate to hold a New Year's party even though the government has banned it.

The joint team had previously conducted patrols in areas such as Mega Kuningan and Blok M, but the situation was conducive and there were no violations of health protocols in the form of crowds.

The officers then visited Koda Bar on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman Kav 7-8, Central Jakarta, and sealed the location because they were desperate to hold a New Year's party which was prohibited during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After sealing the Koda Bar, the team then conducted an inspection at D'Bunker Bar and finally also sealed the place due to a number of health protocol violations in the form of crowds, not wearing masks, not maintaining distance and violating operating hours.
