JAKARTA - Member of Commission IX DPR RI Imam Suroso was declared dead after undergoing medical treatment at the Kariadi Hospital, Semarang, Central Java on Friday, March 27 evening.

This sad news was confirmed by the Secretary of the PDIP faction of the DPR RI, Bambang Wuryanto. According to him, Imam Suroso died due to being infected with COVID-19, even though he had previously been treated in an isolation room.

"Yes, it is true (passed away). He entered the isolation room, positive for COVID-19," said Bambang, Saturday, March 28.

Although Imam Suroso said that he was positively infected by the Corona virus, the source of transmission was not certain. It's just that, a week before he died, it was discovered that Imam Suroso had time to do activities outside the room.

On Friday, March 20, morning, Imam Suroso participated in a group gymnastic activity in Saliyan village, Pati, Central Java. Then, the activity continued from noon to evening by being involved in distributing masks and hand sanitizers to residents at Pasar Puri Baru, Kudus Regency.

After participating in this activity, a day later, Imam Suroso began to suffer from fever and shortness of breath. However, before arriving in Pati, he already felt that his body was not well.

"Before he entered Pati from Jakarta, he complained that his body was getting chills," said Bambang.

The next day, Imam Suroso, also underwent treatment by his personal doctor. It's just that, in the evening, he was immediately taken to the Karyadi General Hospital and entered the ICU and briefly entered the isolation room.
