Of the 10 ranks of the Jakarta Provincial Government who were present yesterday, the results of Setyanto's antigen were declared reactive to COVID-19. "One of the witnesses who was invited for clarification to attend gave a statement on Tuesday on behalf of Setyanto. At the time he attended, the antigen swab was declared reactive," said Yusri.
After being declared reactive, Setyanto was taken by a team of medical doctors and members of the Sub Directorate of State Security to Kramat Jati Hospital for a PCR swab.
In accordance with the SOP for handling suspected COVID-19 without symptoms, Yusri said the results of Setyanto's PCar swab were handed over to the closest health facility where he lives, namely the Petamburan Health Center.
"The results of the swab have been copied to the Petamburan Community Health Center," said Yusri.
Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, said that his party had asked the DKI Health Service to plan for tracing COVID-19 cases in the Petamburan area, Central Jakarta.
