JAKARTA - The decline in the number of COVID-19 patients in Jakarta has resulted in the absence of self-isolation places in Nagrak Flats, North Jakarta and Pasar Rumput Flats, South Jakarta. The two places of centralized isolation are now temporarily closed.

"That's why it's temporarily closed. In Nagrak Flats there are no more patients, then there are only a few patients at Pasar Rumput, we moved them to Wisma Atlet Kemayoran," said the Head of Public Relations of the Kemayoran Athletes Hospital, Colonel Mintoro Sumego when contacted by reporters, Wednesday, September 1.

Colonel Mintoro said that from the beginning the Nagrak Flats and Pasar Rumput Flats were opened as isolation places to accommodate the increasing number of COVID-19 patients. This is because the Wisma Atlet RSDC was almost full during the spike in COVID-19 cases last June.

But now the Wisma Atlet RSDC is deserted along with the continued decline in COVID-19 cases in Jakarta. Although closed, the isolation facilities at the Nagrak Flats and Pasar Rumput have not been dismantled. "Stay on standby if there is another surge in patients," said Mintoro.

The health workers who originally worked in the two self-isolation facilities have now been returned to the Wisma Athlete Hospital.

As is known, since operating June 18 to August 30, the Pasar Rumput Flats have treated 1,094 COVID-19 patients without symptoms and mild symptoms, all of whom have recovered.

Then, Rusun Nagrak has treated 9,419 COVID-19 patients without symptoms and mild symptoms, all of whom have also recovered.
