JAKARTA - Member of Bawaslu Rahmat Bagja admitted that he was positive for COVID-19. This condition was discovered after Bagja received the results of the swab test.

"Because as of today I have tested positive for COVID-19 and are being treated in hospital. Please pray for a speedy recovery," said Rahmat Bagja as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 5.

Initially Rahmat felt dizzy, coughed, and had a cold, then decided to do a COVID-19 swab test.

"Yes (after new symptoms of the swab test)," he said again.

Apart from Bagja, member of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Ratna Dewi Pettalolo in June 2020 also tested positive for COVID-19 in the category of people without symptoms (OTG).

After that, Ratna Dewi has been declared recovered and is active again in conducting supervision of regional head elections simultaneously.

Recently, KPU member Viryan Aziz also claimed to be positively infected with COVID-19 which was discovered after receiving the results from a swab test.

Viryan Aziz tested positive from the results of the swab test on Thursday, December 31, 2020.

Viryan then underwent independent isolation in his official residence in accordance with the applicable health protocol.

But afterwards Viryan received treatment at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital because he experienced symptoms of shortness of breath.

Viryan explained that on December 26, 2020 he carried out his assignment to Merauke. On the way, he didn't feel well.

"The condition is somewhat better. When I arrived home my body temperature was around 36-38 degrees Celsius, so I decided that last night I swab, the result came out positive," he said at the time.
