COVID-19 Cases Still High, Central Kalimantan Police Prepare Field Emergency Room

PALANGKA RAYA - The Regional Police of Central Kalimantan prepares the Field Emergency Installation (IGD) Bhayangkara Tk Hospital. III Palangka Raya to support the handling of COVID-19 patients.

"The goal of the Bhayangkara Hospital Field Emergency Room is to anticipate the surge in residents exposed to COVID-19, which is currently quite high," said Central Kalimantan Regional Police Chief Inspector General Pol Dedi Prasetyo, who visited the Bhayangkara Hospital Field Emergency Room in Palangka Raya City on Wednesday, July 21.

"Hopefully our concerns regarding the surge in COVID-19 patients will not occur and the problem of transmission in the future will continue to decline," he said.

In addition to adding facilities for handling COVID-19 patients, the regional police provided vitamin and food assistance to health workers in charge of handling COVID-19 patients at Bhayangkara Hospital. "The provision of vitamins and food for health workers is a form of our concern for them in treating COVID-19 patients at the local Bhayangkara Hospital," said Dedi.

The Central Kalimantan Regional Police also distributed food and food packages to COVID-19 patients who are undergoing independent isolation and residents affected by the implementation of restrictions on community activities to control the transmission of the coronavirus.
