"BNPB will prepare all the room needs (at Daan Mogot Flats and Wisma LPMP)," said Suharyanto in his statement, Thursday, December 23.

In Daan Mogot Flats, there are 2 towers, namely towers 6 and 7, which have been prepared by the government for quarantine places with a bed capacity that can be utilized by 1,040 people.

Meanwhile, at Wisma LPMP, 480 beds will be prepared for additional beds for quarantine.

Currently, international travelers who receive centralized quarantine facilities from the government are quarantined in a number of locations, namely the Wisma Atlet, the Pasar Rumput Flats, and the Nagrak Flats.
