JAKARTA - Good news for Gorontalo residents. Gorontalo Governor, Rusli Habibie, tested negative for COVID-19, after undergoing self-isolation for 10 days.
"Today I am healthy and fit. Yesterday I had to self-isolate for about 10 days because I was exposed to Omicron with symptoms of fever and cough", said Rusli, Friday, February 18, quoted from Antara.
He hopes that what happened to him is a lesson for all people, that COVID-19 really still exists and must continue to be watched out for.
The way, he said, was by following vaccinations and implementing health protocols. Even if exposed to COVID, the symptoms experienced will not be too severe depending on the condition of each body.
Rusli admitted that he was afraid of getting sick, especially since he had been exposed to COVID-19 twice.
"I'm actually scared. The wife was also originally afraid that she had been exposed to COVID-19 three times. The point is that we are afraid because we don't know where we will be exposed, but I have to remain self-isolation so I don't infect others", he added.
According to him, the handling of the pandemic will continue to be carried out to prevent the spread of transmission of new COVID-19 variants such as Delta and Omicron.
The Gorontalo Provincial Government applies an antigen test at every port and airport, to screen every passenger who will enter Gorontalo.
As a result, almost every day some travelers are found to have positive antigen results, even though they carry a negative antigen certificate from their area of origin.
"So please obey the rules. The regulations are not made up but the goal is clear to prevent it", he said.
