JAKARTA - The sad news came again from medical personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. A nurse named Ari Puspita Sari passed away today. Ari is a nurse at the Royal Surabaya Hospital who handles corona virus patients.

The head of the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI) COVID-19 Handling Team, Jajat Sudrajat, said that Ari was buried in accordance with the COVID-19 handling protocol.

However, the late Ari has not tested positive for COVID-19. Because, until now, the results of the examination that Ari underwent when he was a patient under surveillance (PDP) could not be confirmed.

"We are still waiting for the results of the swab. However, the results of the chest x-ray showed pneumonia leading to COVID," Jajat told VOI, Monday, May 18.

Jajat said, this 26-year-old nurse died pregnant. When she died, her womb had reached 3 weeks or about 6 months.
