Even the number of residents who experience symptoms of poisoning continues to grow until now, with a total of 42 people. Residents who did not experience poisoning without being commanded provided assistance to victims by evacuating them to the health center.
Of the 42 poisoning victims, 28 people experienced mild symptoms and were allowed to go home or outpatient, but if the symptoms worsened, they should immediately come back to the puskesmas for further treatment.
