MAKASSAR - Mayor of Makassar Moh Ramdhan Pomanto will restrict meetings by invitation and guest visits at his residence after being exposed to COVID-19 twice.

Head of the Makassar Protocol Section, Muh Zuhur, said that meeting restrictions were carried out to protect each other so that crowds did not occur which resulted in the transmission of COVID-19.

"Actually, it is more about using information technology at this time. Although it is limited to face-to-face meetings, virtual meetings are not limited," he said, quoted by Antara, Friday, February 18.

He said the health condition of Makassar Mayor Moh Ramdhan Pomanto had recovered 100 percent from COVID-19 after two PCR swab tests which came back negative.

Danny Pomanto, the mayor's nickname, also underwent a computed tomograph (CT) scan at the Daya Makassar General Hospital (RSU) to see the condition of his lungs after being exposed to COVID-19 for the second time.

Zuhur admitted that the mayor had started to be active on duty since Thursday, February 17 and even had time to accompany the Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi to visit a number of markets to check food needs.

He gave an example, if usually at one time the mayor receives a maximum of five guest visits. After the restrictions, his party will only accommodate a maximum of two guests to meet face-to-face with the mayor.

While there are more than three guests, his party will direct the meeting to be held virtually in accordance with the direction of the leader.

"Before the meeting, all those who have an interest in meeting the mayor must first carry out an antigen swab before being accommodated," he said.
