"Everything is under control. The government has ordered to continue preparations due to predictions of an increase in cases after the long holiday. We have prepared that", said Budiman.
The preparedness of the Wisma Atlet Hospital does not depend absolutely on the number of patients, said Budiman, because the Hospital also has other roles, namely helping accelerate vaccination, conducting education and training, and conducting research.
