The Office of the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) of Ogan Komering Ulu Regency (OKU) in South Sumatra (Sumsel) said that one Hajj person from the local area is still being treated at King Jeddah Hospital, Saudi Arabia, due to illness.

"One Hajj Group 9 from OKU Regency who has not returned to Indonesia is on behalf of Sopiah Binti Senen (84)," said Head of Hajj and Umrah Organizers at the Ministry of Religion OKU Abdul Muis in Baturaja, Tuesday, July 8, confiscated by Antara.

He said that currently Mrs. Sopiah's condition had been conscious from a coma, but still needed intensive care at a local hospital. "He is suffering from an illness due to age factors," he said.

Currently, his party is preparing for the return of the Hajj from OKU Regency if it has been declared cured by the hospital.

The process of repatriating the after-hajj will be carried out using a special plane accompanied by a health team from Jeddah until it arrives in the country.

"Hajjes who died are elderly pilgrims who are classified as high risk (cryssia). The deceased has died, his status is already pilgrimage," said Muis.
