MEDAN - The Governor of North Sumatra Edy Rahmayadi responded strongly to the case of using used equipment for the rapid antigen test at Airport, Deli Serdang. The Governor of North Sumatra, Edy, criticized the use of used equipment to detect COVID-19 potential passengers.

"Humans are indeed looking for opportunities in a tight spot. These are people who lack good mentality and bad morals", said Governor Edy, Wednesday, April 28.

The Gubsu Edy continued officer should provide the best service to the community. Officers should not recycle the COVID-19 detector.

"In our difficult condition, he is not helping but even damaging", annoyed Edy.

The former Kostrad Commander apologized to the public for the incident at Kualanamu Airport. According to the Governor of North Sumatra, this was also a form of negligence as the leader of North Sumatra.

"I apologize, it was my negligence. I think everyone has done their job well, but some people abuse that authority", he said.

The Governor of North Sumatra, Edy, asked the police to take firm action against the perpetrators who used a used COVID-19 test kit. Decisive action is important to provide a deterrent effect.

According to the plan, the North Sumatra Provincial Government, continued the Governor of Edy, will conduct searches to the COVID-19 service places to anticipate a similar incident occurring.

"It does not need to be extended, the wrong one will be punished and this has been handled by the Regional Police. Hopefully, it can be a deterrent. This search will continue to be sought", he concluded.

Police raided

The North Sumatra Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate Team raided the rapid antigen test service at Kualanamu Airport, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra.

The raids were carried out on suspicion of the abuse of used rapid antigen. The raids were carried out on Tuesday, April 27 afternoon.

Some of the evidence and 5 officers who were at Kualanamu Airport were secured by the police.

Head of Public Relations of the North Sumatra Regional Police, Kombes Hadi Wahyudi, said that his party is still investigating the case.

"We are currently investigating and previously secured 5 employees", said Hadi.

The raid was carried out when the police received a report from the public, namely a prospective passenger who questioned the antigen rapid test service at Kualanamu Airport.

From this information, the police went undercover by becoming a potential passenger and carried out a rapid antigen test.

After that, the medical personnel carried out a rapid test by striking the nose.

After the examination was carried out, the result is positive. The undercover police objected, resulting in an argument with the medical personnel.

The officers then examined the items used for rapid antigen tests and found that some of the tools were recycled for reuse.

The five people have been detained at the North Sumatra Regional Police for examination along with other evidence.

"We secure all the evidence there, including the rapid test", he said.
