JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya officers brought 28 followers of Rizieq Shihab to the Wisma Atlet Hospital. They were escorted to Wisma Atlet because they were reactive based on the results of the COVID-19 rapid test when protesting at the National Monument (Monas) area of Central Jakarta.

"There are 28 reactive ones and we have a swab test at the Athlete's House. We have input them there," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus, quoted by Antara, Saturday, December 19.

Currently the police are waiting for the results of the examination by the medical team at RSD Wisma Atlet, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

"We are waiting for the Athlete House, we will submit it to those who are competent. The results are like what everyone knows from there," said Yusri.

As previously reported, members of Polda Metro Jaya forcibly dispersed the "1812" action period from several mass organizations, including the 212 Alumni Brotherhood (PA), FPI and the Ulama Fatwa Guard National Movement (GNPF) at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Friday, December 18.

The police have emphasized that they have not given permission for activities to convey opinions in public to Rizieq Shihab's sympathizers.

Yusri explained that the Polda Metro Jaya had not given permission for the action plan to demand Rizieq's release because of the pandemic period, so there was a potential for crowds to cause the COVID-19 cluster.

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, the transmission in Jakarta is quite high. We hope they can understand that there should be no crowd activities," said Yusri.

Based on this, Polda Metro Jaya, assisted by the TNI and DKI Pemprov, conducted a humanitarian operation to break the chain of COVID-19.

Police and TNI apparatus also carry out 3T (testing, tracing and treatment) in the area for large-scale and preventive operations to cut the potential for COVID-19 transmission.
