Thousand Islands Regent Junaedi said it was realized through collaboration between the Thousand Islands Regency administration, the PMI Jakarta, and the Regional Representative Council (DPD).

"Today we have 130 participants. Hopefully this collaboration can be sustainable towards a healthy and productive community," he expressed, at the Regency Office Hall, Pramuka Island, Panggang Island Urban Village, North Thousand Islands Sub-district, Tuesday (3/9).

Aside that, he continued the disinfectant spraying was also carried out in neighborhoods and places of worship by PMI Jakarta.

"This is done to contain the spread of COVID-19 transmission in Thousand Islands. We hope this disease will disappear soon,” he explained.
