TARAKAN - Chairman of North Kalimantan Regional House of Representatives, Norhayati Andris, has tested positive for COVID-19. Norhayati is undergoing self-isolation at the Pertamedika Hospital in Tarakan.

"I just came in yesterday (Thursday, June 24), the only symptom was a sudden fever, at night it was hot again and in the morning suddenly her nose was blocked with coughing", said Norhayati, quoted by Antara, Friday, June 25.

At first, Norhayati thought she was just sick until she came to Pertamedika Hospital, Thursday, June 24 at noon. Norhayati immediately asked for self-isolation at the hospital.

"My sense of smell is also not lost and there are no comorbidities. I've also had x-rays on my lungs and there are small spots, but they are not dangerous", he said

Norhayati is also grateful that she has been vaccinated twice, the symptoms of COVID-19 that she is experiencing may be somewhat mild.

He did not know who he had contracted COVID-19 from, because as chairman of the North Kalimantan Regional House of Representatives, many residents were accepted both at the office and in their homes.

"Maybe I should be careful, I also often receive guests to my house, the name is a friend who wants to meet me, give me space", she continued.

Norhayati will be more careful with meeting times because the symptoms of COVID-19 for her are very uncomfortable, such as high fever and then coughing. Fortunately, there are no severe symptoms, where the sense of taste and smell is still normal.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Norhayati and her friends were busy delivering necessities to residents in remote areas of the North Kalimantan. Norhayati's troops are very famous for their "Pikul Beras" troops.

They are looking for residents who are in need by distributing necessities and masks, including gravediggers specifically for COVID-19 funerals.
