MEDAN - Fitria Wulandari, a resident of Medan, North Sumatra, expressed her grievances regarding the centralized isolation of COVID-19. Fitria was 'rejected' when she came to the Hajj Dormitory, one of the locations, namely the Hajj Dormitory building.

“He said that if you wanted to isolate yourself, you just came to the Hajj hostel. Even when I said I was positive, the officer immediately jumped away from me, even though I also wore a 3 layer mask," Fitria said via her Instagram account, Monday, August 23.

Fitria's story was shared on social media specifically for regional information. Fitria Wulandari was asked about her reason for visiting the Hajj dormitory building where the integrated isolation is prepared by the Medan City Government.

“In the media it says that we accept anyone, but the question is 'from where? who ordered here?” this is what I just experienced, sir @bobbynst @dy_rahmayadi," he said.

“Before coming here, I was not referred anywhere from the puskesmas near my house, in fact when I asked about isolation in the hajj dormitory, the answer was I don't know. try going directly to the Hajj hostel directly. How are you, sir?," Fitria continued.

Bobby Nasution's explanation in front of the National Police Chief and TNI Commander

Let's look at the previous statement of the Mayor of Medan. Bobby Nasution once explained the strategy to deal with the spread of COVID-19. Bobby Nasution's explanation was delivered in front of the TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto and the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"Alhamdulillah, during the PPKM (Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions) and the isolation that we carried out, the number of new COVID-19 cases decreased," said Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution as quoted by Antara, Saturday, August 14.

Bobby Nasution explained that the Medan City Government has limited mobility in five sub-districts where many residents have been infected with the corona virus, namely Medan Sunggal, Medan Tuntungan, Medan Helvetia, Medan Johor and Medan Selayang.

Tracing and testing are also being carried out which are continuously being encouraged by asking joint officers from 41 Community Health Centers and 39 supporting Puskesmas to be active.

"If there are residents who are positive, they are directed to a referral hospital or isoter (centralized isolation), and it depends on the patient's condition. Even if we have to isolate the environment, we have guaranteed the community's needs," explained Bobby.

In addition, the Mayor of Medan explained that the Medan City Government has provided isoter locations, namely the former Soechi Hotel, and the Center for the Development and Empowerment of Educators and Education Personnel.

Meanwhile, the Hajj Dormitory Building, continued Bobby Nasution, can already be used in collaboration with the North Sumatra Provincial Government, and the Medan City Government also adds a floating isoter location at KM Bukit Raya which will soon be operated.

"This free isoter has complete facilities, and is managed by sufficient health personnel. Stocks of oxygen, medicine and vitamins are also available," said Bobby.
