MEDAN - Spokesperson for the COVID-19 Task Force for North Sumatra (North Sumatra) Aris Yudhariansyah responded to the virality of the futsal match in Deli Serdang with the crowd spilling over at the Sports Hall.
"I don't know (the permit), because we don't identify all the reports. It should be a regency / city and it should be there, but I don't know, it doesn't seem to exist," Aris told reporters, Monday, February 1.
The Secretary of the North Sumatra Health Office could not say much. Because he hasn't seen the video
"I know it from the media. That should not happen again. This means that changing behavior so that people adhere to health protocols requires time and people who understand," he said.
