MAKASSAR - The Governor of South Sulawesi (Sulsel) Nurdin Abdullah responded to the discovery of a case of a fake rapid antigen test certificate at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport, Maros, South Sulawesi. Governor Nurdin questioned that there were still people playing with antigen certificates even though it was actually free.

Several days ago, Nurdin Abdullah has prepared a free rapid antigen examination service. A free rapid antigen test is provided by the South Sulawesi Provincial Government at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, Maros so that it can be used by people who are traveling by plane.

"While the original is free, what is the logic like? Where is the logic? The original one is free. If necessary, we urge the public to really take advantage of the facilities provided by the government," said South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah, Monday, February 1.

Nurdin Abdullah found it odd that there was a fake antigen rapid test sequence. This is despite the fact that the South Sulawesi Provincial Government has provided free rapid antigen tests at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport.

Previously, the Maros Police arrested unscrupulous officials of the Makassar University of East Indonesia (UIT) Tourism Hospital who produced fake antigen rapid test letters for dozens of potential passengers at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport.

"The perpetrators have been arrested in the early hours of the morning," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Maros Police, Iptu Rusli, to VOI, Monday, February 1.

The perpetrator was arrested at home in Tanralili District, Maros. He was previously hunted down after it was found out that he made a fake antigen rapid test certificate on behalf of the Makassar UIT Tourism Hospital

Meanwhile, the UIT Makassar Tourism Hospital emphasized that the hospital was not related and was not involved in a fake antigen rapid test case. The counterfeiters did forge certificates for the needs of the trip on personal initiative.

"And we inform this person who falsified the rapid test antigen letter who also worked at the UIT Tourism Hospital, we were forced to stop disrespectfully because of taking action against the law and we left it to the authorities," said Public Relations of the UIT Tourism Hospital, Muh Sofyan.
