JAKARTA - The Jepara COVID-19 Handling Task Force Team, Central Java, is still conducting close contact tracing after the death of the EK (57) Annual Sub-District Head due to the corona virus (COVID-19).

"Previously, we did a contact tracing at the Annual District Office, then continued with the family of the deceased," said Muh Ali, spokesman for the Jepara COVID-19 Handling Task Force in Jepara, reported by Antara, Thursday, November 19.

In the contact tracing, he said, all of them were carried out by a throat swab test to detect the presence or absence of the corona virus.

At this time, the results have not come out, so those who have undergone a throat swab test need to be isolated until the results are known.

He hopes that the health protocol rules will continue to be implemented to prevent the chain of transmission from occurring.

Before he died, the Head of the Annual Sub-district began undergoing treatment at RSUD Kartini Jepara since November 14.

Meanwhile, the results of the throat swab test for the deceased were found to have been confirmed on Saturday, November 14th, with COVID-19.

The Jepara COVID-19 Handling Task Force Team reminded people in Jepara Regency to remain disciplined in using masks and always washing hands with soap, and maintaining a safe distance and avoiding crowds.
