His party involved 160 medical officers from 41 health centers plus 39 auxiliary health centers and the TNI/Polri both Medan Polrestabes, Belawan Police and Kodim 0201/BS for tracking and testing.

"If tracing and testing are found to be positive for COVID-19, they will be directed to a referral hospital or to an isoter location. It depends on the patient's condition," he explained.
