PTM COVID Cluster Appears In Purbalingga, Ganjar Pranowo: Disband Schools That Don't Report

Central Java - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo has instructed tracing or contact tracing related to the findings of face-to-face learning clusters (PTM) in several areas.

"I ask for tracking, to find out where the cause came from, what kind of entry, so that it can be handled immediately," he said in Semarang as reported by Antara, Wednesday, September 22.

According to Ganjar, the COVID-19 PTM cluster in Purbalingga is a warning to all regions in Central Java to be more careful. Based on the results of the check, a number of schools in Purbalingga held PTM without permission.

"I emphasize, why is it important for every school that wants to organize PTM to report first so that it can be monitored," he said.

Ganjar asked each region to take firm action in the form of disbanding if any school held PTM without permission.

"Those who don't report it, disperse. This is a lesson for all of us. All schools, both public and private, anyone holding PTM please report so that we can check from the start," he said.

Ganjar has also ordered all regions to conduct random tests in several schools at a certain time so that the current development of PTM can be known.

"I ask that a random test be carried out at a certain time so that the condition can be known," he said.

Previously, it was reported that based on an antigen test, 61 students of SMPN 3 Mrebet showed positive results for COVID-19. Previously, 90 people from SMPN 4 Mrebet had the same (positive) antigen test results.
