JAYAPURA - Director of the Jayapura Regional General Hospital, dr. Anton Mote said that until now his office is still treating three confirmed COVID-19 patients. "Hopefully the results of the PCR examination will be negative soon so that they recover and can go home," said Mote in Jayapura, Papua, quoted from Antara, Monday, April 18. When asked about the condition of the COVID-19 patient who is still being treated at the Jayapura Hospital, Mote said the condition of the three is stable and is still being monitored by the paramedics in charge of handling them. Jayapura Hospital is currently making various preparations to anticipate a spike in COVID-19 cases after the 2022 Eid holiday. This is done in order to anticipate various possibilities so that if a COVID-19 patient occurs, they can be treated immediately.

However, his party hopes that more people who have received the COVID-19 vaccination can prevent transmission. Jayapura Hospital has 56 specialist doctors with 28 general practitioners with 300 beds. Only three people still tested positive and they are residents of Geram District, Abepura, and North Jayapura District.
