SURABAYA - The East Java Provincial Government is preparing to open oxygen refill service centers in several areas to facilitate people in need, especially residents who are self-isolating due to COVID-19.
"Now it is still in Greater Surabaya, later it will be prepared for several areas whose needs are urgent," said East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa, on the sidelines of the launch of a free oxygen refill service center in the yard of the East Java Transportation Service office in Surabaya, quoted by Antara, Saturday, July 17.
The East Java Provincial Government, he said, currently has received oxygen assistance from a number of companies, both state-owned enterprises (BUMN) in East Java and other oxygen producers.
Khofifah hopes that the program will be able to help people who have difficulty getting oxygen refills.
Meanwhile, a number of residents seemed enthusiastic about refilling free oxygen for their families who were experiencing shortness of breath due to exposure to COVID-19.
"Because it is difficult to find oxygen. In pharmacies and nowhere else, they pay. Last night I heard the governor gave free aid," said one resident, Agnes Heppy.
The resident of Wage Asri, Sidoarjo, who is a family member infected with COVID-19 with symptoms of shortness of breath, admitted that he was greatly helped by the free oxygen refill activity.
Meanwhile, apart from Surabaya, free oxygen services were also opened in Sidoarjo, namely on Sunday, July 18 in Sidoarjo, and Monday, July 19 in Gresik.
