JAKARTA - Hadi Pranoto, who was reported in the case of allegedly spreading false news about the herbal medicine COVID-19, admitted that he was sick when he was being examined on August 24. However, based on the results of the examination by the police doctor, Hadi was declared healthy.

"Indeed there are our efforts to accelerate but we don't want to, then we refer to it first we check to Dokkes at Polda Metro Jaya. The results of the Dokkes are actually okay," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to journalists, Thursday, August 27.

However, Hadi still felt that his condition was not healthy. Thus, the examination agenda was postponed and the rescheduling date was not certain.

"Now we are coordinating with the team of lawyers to be able to present those concerned," said Yusri.

Previously, Hadi was canceled to be examined about a case where he was suspected of spreading false news on the grounds that he had not fully recovered after being treated.

"Indeed, he is still sick and has just been discharged from the hospital because he is tired and he is still being treated," said Hadi at Polda Metro Jaya, Monday, August 24.

Hadi Pranoto was reported to Polda Metro Jaya by the General Chairperson of Cyber Indonesia, Muannas Alaidid, because he was considered to be spreading false news about claims for a COVID-19 antibody herbal medicine.

In this case, the police will apply Article 28 in conjunction with Article 45A of the ITE Law as stated. This case began when Hadi Pranoto and Anji discussed the COVID-19 issue and uploaded it to YouTube. In the conversation, Hadi said that he had found a COVID-19 antibody herbal medicine.
