JAKARTA - Lubang Buaya Village, Cipayung, East Jakarta, has converted an operational service vehicle (KDO) into an ambulance.

The village head of Lubang Buaya, Dede Saefullah, explained that this was done in order to speed up the burial of the bodies of COVID-19 patients in his area.

"This is our initiative to help residents speed up the handling of the burial of corpses," said Dede Saefullah, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, July 14.
