JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Parks and Forest Service has increased the number of grave plots for COVID-19 bodies at the Bambu Apus Public Cemetery (TPU), East Jakarta.
Head of the East Jakarta Parks and Forests Sub-department, Christian Hutagalung explained, the addition of the tomb plots at the Bambu Apus Public Cemetery was carried out by filling the remaining unused land.
"It is planned to fill with soil for the plots of tombs. So the addition of tomb plots, not the expansion of land", said Christian Hutagalung, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, July 14.
Christian said the addition of the tomb plot was made because the Bambu Apus Public Cemetery could no longer accommodate the bodies of COVID-19.
In fact, according to Christian, the land for COVID-19 bodies at the Bambu Apus Public Cemetery has been fully occupied since March 2021. This makes the burial of COVID-19 bodies carried out in a public cemetery with an overlapping system.
"As long as the bodies of COVID-19 patients are adequate, they will be buried in public TPUs with an overlapping system", said Christian.

"The work is just being planned. For the results of the work, how many plots of the tomb will be, I can't predict yet", said Christian.
