PROBOLINGGO - Probolinggo City Police Chief, AKBP RM Jauhari, and his staff mediate the families of patients at the dr Mohamad Saleh Hospital who refused to carry out the burial of confirmed COVID-19 bodies.

"The public must be able to understand that COVID-19 really exists and should not be consumed by issues that cannot be justified", said AKBP RM Jauhari, in Probolinggo City, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, July 27.

He explained that based on the doctor's analysis, he stated that the deceased had been confirmed positive, so the funeral had to be carried out according to the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the COVID-19 health protocol.

"This was done by officers to prevent the spread of COVID-19. After the restoration was carried out, we escorted the funeral procession, which ran safely and smoothly", he said.

Jauhari explained the need for cooperation and the role of all figures to play an active role in educating the public to understand health protocols during the pandemic.

"We urge the public not to act against the law to create public security and order, and the public is advised to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus", he also said.

He said the Probolinggo Police would act decisively and process according to applicable law if there was a forced retrieval of bodies confirmed positive for COVID-19 and mass deployments that could not be accounted for.

Director of Dr. Moch. Saleh Hospital Probolinggo City, Dr. Abroor Kuddah, said that his party had explained that the deceased was a confirmed positive patient for COVID-19.

"The results of the swab test stated that the deceased was confirmed positive for COVID-19 and when he was about to be buried according to health protocols, there were attempts to refuse by the family", he said.

One of the family representatives objected and refused to be buried according to the COVID-19 health protocol, but after mediation and education by the Probolinggo Police Chief, the patient's family finally understood and accepted.
