JAKARTA - Secretary of the Regency Village, Central Klaten District, Klaten Regency, Central Java, Kartika Dewi, told her story of being an "impromptu" ambulance driver to deliver the bodies of COVID-19 patients.

Dewi said, this was done because there was no ambulance driver when the volunteers for the burial of the bodies of COVID-19 patients received a call to duty.

"When the team had gathered, it turned out that there was no officer who was driving the ambulance," said the mother of two, as reported by Antara, Sunday, August 15.

When there was no driver, he said, the team then contacted the sub-district office to find a solution.

Dewi volunteered to drive the ambulance so that the task of the volunteers for the funeral procession could be completed without any problems. Wearing a hazmat suit, Dewi drove an ambulance that picked up the bodies at the Klaten Islamic Hospital for burial at the Tegal Binangun TPU.

Driving an ambulance to transport the bodies of COVID-19 patients, he said, was an experience in itself.

The volunteers for the funeral procession, he continued, were always alert at all times if there was a call for duty.
