"Yes, positive, currently he is undergoing independent isolation," said Surakarta Ahyani, Head of the Daily Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 in the City of Surakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 24.

He said that after taking the swab test himself, Purnomo attended the plenary meeting. In fact, on Thursday, July 16, Purnomo had a history of travel from Jakarta. Therefore, there will be a swab test on the results of Purnomo's close contact tracing.

He said he had taken the swab test twice, namely on Friday and Saturday last week. He said the first swab test was negative. However, until now there have been no complaints.
