JAKARTA - One of the witnesses at Rizieq Shihab's trial, Mer-C volunteer doctor Hadiki Habib, revealed that the results of Rizieq Shihab's antigen swab test showed that COVID-19 was reactive.

He said that he received orders from Mer-C to carry out a rapid antigen test on Rizieq Shihab on November 20, 2020.

"At his residence in Sentul. In the afternoon, Ba'da Ashar," said dr. Hadiki Habib at trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Wednesday.

He continued that after the antigen rapid test results were known, he then conveyed this to Rizieq Shihab.

According to Hadiki's confession, the defendant Rizieq Shihab expressed his willingness to follow the existing health protocol procedures regarding the reactive results of COVID-19.

"I provided education and the defendant would follow the existing protocol rules. We built an agreement to carry out further medical examinations," Hadiki said.

Furthermore, the defendant Rizieq Shihab was taken to the UMMI Hospital as a reference for COVID-19 for further examination. According to Hadiki, UMMI Hospital was chosen because of its location not far from the residence of the defendant Rizieq Shihab in Sentul.

"He went to the UMMI hospital," he added.

The East Jakarta District Court held another Rizieq Shihab trial with the agenda of examining witnesses from the Public Prosecutor regarding the UMMI Hospital swab test case.

Six witnesses were presented this time, namely dr. Sarbini Abdul Murad (Mer-C volunteer doctor), dr. Nerina Mayakartifa (UMMI Hospital doctor), dr. Faris Nagib (doctor of UMMI Hospital).

Next there is dr. Hadiki Habib (Internal Medicine Specialist at RSCM & Mer-C Volunteer Doctor), dr. Nuri Dyah Indrasari, dr. Tonggo Meaty Fransisca (Mer-C Volunteer Doctor).
