"It is not true (officers have COVID-19). Services at Samsat, East Jakarta are still running as usual," said Director of the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to VOI, Tuesday, August 18.

Sambodo agrees with the news that East Jakarta Samsat members have died. But based on the information he received, the cause of his death was due to lung disease.

"The deceased died on August 16. It has been re-swabed. The results will come out tomorrow," said Sambodo.
