Number Of Recovered COVID-19 Patients In Palangka Raya Reaches 92.29 Percent

PALANGKA RAYA - Mayor of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan Province, Fairid Naparin said the recovery rate of COVID-19 patients in the local city reached 92.29 percent of the total cases.

"Out of a total of 17.439 COVID-19 patients, 16.095 have been declared cured. This means that the cure rate has reached 92.29 percent," Fairid said in Palangka Raya, Wednesday, March 23.

Although the recovery rate of corona patients is high, residents in "City of Beauty" are asked to always be aware of the potential for the spread of COVID-19 and obey existing rules and implement strict health protocols.

Quoted by Antara, based on data released by the Palangka Raya City COVID-19 Handling Task Force, of the total positive cases, there are still 816 residents undergoing treatment.

Of that number, 695 underwent self-isolation and the remaining 121 underwent treatment in hospital due to severe symptoms or comorbidities. The local task force also recorded that 528 corona patients had died.

As an effort to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19, the Palangka Raya City Government, through the task force team, continues to make various efforts, ranging from socialization, early detection, security to case handling.

For people or entrepreneurs who are proven to have violated health protocols, officers will apply sanctions such as verbal warnings, written warnings, social sanctions, and fines

In order to minimize the spread of the virus among school students, the Palangka Raya City Government through the Education Office also stopped the implementation of face-to-face education in urban areas that were included in the red zone.

However, it is excluded for elementary and junior high school students who will take the National Examination (UN). The students can still carry out limited Face-to-face Learning. This was done in order to prepare for the exams for grades VI and IX, so there was a need for more intensive tutoring.

The government and various related parties are also intensifying vaccinations as an effort to increase the body's resistance to exposure to the virus.

His party will also enforce regulations for implementing health protocols strictly. Any party found to have committed a violation will be subject to sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations.
