JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Commission IX, Melkiades Laka Lena asked the COVID-19 Task Force to assist and regulate health workers (nakes) in treating COVID-19 patients. The goal is that the handling of the pandemic can run optimally.

"The Task Forces at the local level are well prepared to be able to handle this situation in the upstream and downstream patterns," said Melki, Thursday, June 24.

"At the same time, the distribution of health workers must be arranged, the division of their duties in these various places. So that they can handle centralized isolation, helping the health workers to work well," he continued.

In addition, Melki considered that the implementation of Micro Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) which forced the people to limit their activities must also be accompanied by capacity building and health facilities.

For example, the capacity of isolation sites could be centralized at the community level. In this case, RT, RW, hamlet, village, village, kelurahan, sub-district, district and city.

"It's centralized isolation to strengthen its capacity," said the Golkar politician.

It is known, the capacity of the Wisma Atlet RSDC has been declared full. Some hospitals are like that, even Fatmawati Hospital is no longer accepting general patients due to the availability of wards and ICUs that have run out.
