MEDAN - The Medan City Government, North Sumatra, asked residents in this area to be open by admitting that they were infected with COVID-19.
"If they test positive for COVID-19 from a PCR swab or something else, we ask them to confess to the officers," said Deputy Mayor of Medan, Aulia Rachman, quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 19.
If people who are exposed to COVID-19 want to self-isolate (isoman) at home, continued Aulia, the Medan City Government will provide food three times a day, medicines, vitamins and health workers.
The Medan City Government has previously coordinated with sub-districts and sub-districts in monitoring exposed communities and handling COVID-19 down to the environmental level.
"What the Mayor is doing is the efforts that are implemented to handle COVID-19. This is our step so that people open up and dare to say that they have been exposed," said Aulia.
"This is where the 3T journey (tracing, testing, treatment) will be detected and run optimally, so that solutions can be found to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in Medan City," explained Aulia.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Police Traffic Corps, Inspector General Istiono, assessed that the implementation of the Level 4 Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) for Medan City had been carried out well and involved all elements.
"Officers in the field have also taken priority selective steps to road users by carrying out antigen swabs. This separation is a joint effort to suppress the spread of COVID-19," he said.
