"Yes, the sub-district office is temporarily closed because the village head is positive for COVID-19," said Tanah Abang sub-district head Dicky Suherlan when contacted by reporters, Thursday, January 20.

The sub-district head said that the village head is currently undergoing self-isolation (Isoman) at his house. After the results of the village head examination were declared positive, dozens of employees, both State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and PJLP at the sub-district office, were immediately traced.

"About 25 people are being traced, this is to find out who is exposed. Whether direct contact or not, tracing is carried out immediately," he said.

Services to the community are still carried out by providing drop boxes at the Gelora sub-district office. The village office will be closed for the next three days.

"Maybe on Monday the Gelora sub-district office will be reopened as before," said the Camat.
