SOLO - Mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka apologized for the outbreak of the COVID-19 case in RT6/RW7 Sumber Village, Banjarsari District, Solo.

Gibran admitted that he was missed because this cluster emerged from the activities of the residents who are not far from Gibran's house.

"I apologize, yesterday it was missed by Sumber," Gibran was quoted as saying by ERA.id, Wednesday, May 19.

Gibran hopes that this kind of incident will not happen again. For this reason, he really asked the community members to refrain from halal bi halal activities to friendship with relatives.

"We have to learn from sources", he said.

Therefore, Gibran asked all parties to be more vigilant. Gibran will carry out maximum monitoring at this location and anticipate it does not happen elsewhere.

"Anyway, we are testing and everything is included in the tracing", he said.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of Sumber Village Winarno added that according to the instructions of the Mayor of Solo, all residents in RT 6 would undergo a swab. In total, 71 residents have not yet been swabbed by the Solo City Health Office (DKK).

"Everyone's been swabbed. All those who tested positive were instructed to be immediately taken to the Donohudan Hajj Dormitory", he said.

Currently, all parties have anticipated a spike in cases. The reason is that the area is indeed a densely populated settlement. Another trigger is that residents still use communal toilets.

"So the transmission is faster. We actually feel cheated by the joint breaking-fast activity. If they ask permission to go to the urban village, we will definitely not allow it", he continued.
