We can get it anytime and anywhere. So I invite the public to obey government regulations

Badrun (48), a patient from Tidung Island, South Thousand Islands who was declared to have recovered from COVID-19, invites the community in his neighborhood to obey government regulations regarding large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).

According to him, the coronavirus can infect anyone through physical interactions. That's why, people will be safe if they continue to apply health protocols by doing activities at home and maintaining physical distancing and always washing hands.

"We can get it anytime and anywhere. So I invite the public to obey government regulations, InsyaAllah we will be safe," he expressed, Tuesday (5/12).

While undergoing isolation for 20 days at the Athlete's Dormitory, he was briefly treated in the ICU for four days, because of the immune condition that continues to weaken along with relapsed hypertension.

"Finally I was declared cured after following all the instructions and health protocols from the medical team during isolation," he explained.

He did not expect that the local citizens would warmly welcome him when he returned to Tidung Island.

"Alhamdulillah, I could go back to my family, thanks to your prayers," he stated.

In the meantime, South Thousand Islands Sub-district Head Ilmi Tri Indarto explained, according to applicable procedures, every patient who is cured and may go home already had a healthy statement and twice the SWAB results are negative so there is no need for isolation.

"They've been able to directly gather with their families but still keep a distance at home, keep wearing masks. We will monitor through our Puskesmas staff," he said.
