JAKARTA - The North Sumatra Regional Police are continuing to develop a case of alleged reuse of the antigen rapid test device at Kualanamu Airport, North Sumatra.

"We are still developing the possibility of other parties suspected of being the perpetrators," said North Sumatra Regional Police Chief Inspector General Panca Putra, in Medan, as reported by Antara Friday.

Kapolda said it did not rule out the possibility of a new suspect in the case of a health crime violation.

"It is possible that in the future the suspect's development is possible," he said.

Previously, the North Sumatra Regional Police revealed the case of using a used antigen rapid test kit at Kualanamu International Airport in Deli Serdang by officers of PT Kimia Farma Diagnostik which had been carried out since December 2020.
