ENDE - The Government of Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) cooperates with the Diocese of Ende in preparing a quarantine place to anticipate the surge in COVID-19 patients.

"After we had a meeting with religious leaders, Bishop Ende said the nuns' houses were ready to be used to quarantine COVID-19 patients", said Ende Regent, Achmad Djafar, in a statement received by Antara, Monday, July 12.

As of last Friday, July 9, the number of COVID-19 patients in Ende Regency was recorded at 750 people. It is estimated that the number of COVID patients increases by 40-50 people per day.

The district government is currently monitoring the addition of COVID patients. If it hits 1,000 people, the quarantine location that has been prepared will be used. One of the steps being prepared is to cooperate with the Diocese of Ende to prepare a quarantine place in Detusoko District.

"If COVID-19 cases spike high, the nun's residence will be used as a quarantine place", he said.

In addition to Detusoko, the Regency Government has prepared other quarantine locations including the Marilong Stadium and the Office of the Regent of Ende. The government also doesn't tire of reminding residents to be disciplined in implementing health protocols. Raids and efforts to tighten citizens' mobility continue to be intensified.

"Meanwhile, we are still studying the implementation of Emergency Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) because it is not easy to implement the policy", said Regent Achmad.
