MEDAN - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo appealed to residents with confirmed COVID-19 to take advantage of the centralized isolation facilities (isoters) provided by the regional government.

"I invite people who are isoman to isolate in isoters. In isoters, patients are directly under the supervision of health workers," said the National Police Chief in Medan when inspecting the isoter building at the former Soechi Hotel managed by the Medan City Government, quoted by Antara, Saturday, August 14.

During the visit, the National Police Chief and TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto received an explanation of health services in isoter by the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution.

Meanwhile, TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto was seen holding a question and answer session with an isoter patient who was undergoing treatment at the former Soechi Hotel.

Jemi, an asymptomatic patient, said that it is better to isolate in an isoter for fear of endangering his parents at home.

"That's the right choice. Because we have to take care of our families, and our neighbors. I pray for a speedy recovery because the family is waiting at home," said Hadi.

Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, said that the Medan City Government currently manages two isoters, namely the former Soechi Hotel and the Center for the Development and Empowerment of Educators and Education Personnel.

"People who use the isoter facility are not quoted a fee. And we prepare health workers, medicines, vitamins and sports facilities. The need for oxygen is also sufficient," said Bobby.
