DEPOK - The Depok City Government has extended the operation period for a centralized isolation location for COVID-19 patients at the Anugerah Sehat Afiat Regional General Hospital (RSUD). The extension is done until September 2022.
"The extension step was taken to deal with the increase in COVID-19 cases in Depok City," said Depok City Regional Secretary Supian Suri in a press statement, quoted from Antara, Thursday, June 30.
He explained that the operation of the centralized isolation area for COVID-19 patients at the Anugerah Sehat Afiat Hospital, which was originally scheduled to end in June 2022, was extended to deal with the possibility of an increase in cases of corona virus transmission.
In addition to extending the operation period of the centralized isolation area, the Depok City Government reminded the implementation of vaccinations and health protocol counseling to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
"To increase herd immunity, it must also be done by completing vaccinations, starting from the first, second, and third doses or boosters. The COVID-19 vaccine must be complete to booster," said Supian.
Head of Depok City Health Office Mary Liziawati added that residents are expected to wear masks, wash their hands with soap and running water, maintain distance, stay away from crowds, limit mobility, and undergo vaccinations to avoid COVID-19.
In addition, he urges residents who experience symptoms of illness in the form of fever, cough, runny nose, and sore throat to immediately go to health service facilities considering there is a tendency to increase cases of COVID-19 transmission.
