Head of the Graha Wisata TMII Unit, Yayang Kustiawan, said the place was ready to accommodate COVID-19 patients, in the event of a spike in cases like what happened in mid-2021.
"In principle, currently Graha Wisata TMII is ready to be used, both in terms of infrastructure, officers, and location," said Yayang Kustiawan in Jakarta, Monday, February 7, quoted from Antara.
