JAKARTA - The Health Office of Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi conveyed the good news. None of their residents have been infected with COVID-19 and are being treated at local regional hospitals.

"Thank God, not a single Kendari City resident is currently hospitalized due to COVID-19," said Kadinkes Kendari Rahminingrum, Friday, April 1, quoted from Antara.

Currently, there are seven active cases of COVID-19 in Kendari City, but without symptoms. That's why it's only recommended to self-isolate at home.

Rahminingrum invites the public to remain disciplined about health protocols starting with wearing masks, maintaining distance and diligently washing hands, including participating in the vaccination program to suppress the spread of COVID-19.

"Hopefully COVID-19 cases will continue to decline and eventually the pandemic will end in Kendari City," he said.

He also thanked all parties who have worked together to overcome the spread of COVID-19 in Kendari City, such as BIN Sultra which has supplied 2,000 Sinovac vaccines to vaccinate children aged 6-11 years.

"It's been almost two weeks since we ran out of Sinovac vaccine stock, while we are accelerating the vaccination of children because we want to enter the month of Ramadan, as well as face-to-face learning requirements.

"Hopefully in the future the Sinovac vaccine will be more smoothly input from the center," he said.

In addition, he also thanked the Kendari Police Chief and Dandim 1417/Kendari for their cooperation in the field, mainly in accelerating vaccination, as well as Kajari Kendari regarding consultations so that all processes for implementing the COVID-19 response comply with the rules and do not violate applicable regulations.

"Hopefully what we are doing does not violate existing rules. Then we also thank our main health partners in handling COVID-19 and accelerating vaccination," said Rahminingrum.
