WONOGORI - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo will coordinate between provincial governments regarding the number of positive COVID-19 patients being treated in several districts/cities, but from outside Central Java.

"I will immediately communicate between governors, it turns out that in this border area people will try to find the closest one, so in border areas it is important to communicate between regions," said Ganjar Pranowo in Wonogiri, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 16.

In addition, each region must also be open about the number of patients from other provinces being treated in Central Java, and vice versa.

"Well, let's communicate later I can help to Wonosari or Pacitan, or later I will talk to the governors that in the border areas we must cooperate," said the PDI-P politician.

Ganjar said that cooperation at the hospital level must also be carried out, including local governments at the border also increasing their health facilities.

"So if the area is here the zone says red and so on, we set it right. We have to work together at the hospital level, let's work together to improve beds, services, medicines. We will prepare it so that later it will not become a problem at the border," he said .

This was conveyed by Ganjar after receiving a report from the Director of the Wonogiri Setyarini Hospital regarding the occupancy of beds handling COVID-19 patients.

Regarding COVID-19 patients from outside Central Java, Ganjar advised health workers to continue to provide the best service and in accordance with standard operating procedures.

Ganjar emphasized that the hospital would still accept any patient who came and not make an issue of the patient's ID card from which area.

"If then the burden becomes high, I will be notified," he said.
