Jauhar hopes that all areas in East Kalimantan will monitor the availability of oxygen, increase the occupancy rate of beds or Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) for the treatment of residents affected by COVID-19.
"All government-owned hospitals have implemented an increase in BOR for COVID-19 patients by up to 45 percent," said Jauhar.
