Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that many people were exposed to Covid-19 but still did mobility in public spaces. Budi said, as many as 3,830 positive Covid-19 people were detected still doing activities outside their homes or health facilities or isolation places. Their movements are recorded in the PeduliLindung application.

“We can see surprisingly Still, there are 3,830 people who fall into the black category, black means positive for Covid-19 but they are still traveling,” said Budi in a working meeting with Commission IX of the DPR, Monday (13/9).

The former Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) explained that of the 3,830 people, at least 3,000 people are still walking around the mall. Then, 43 people entered the airport, 63 people traveled by train, and 55 people visited the restaurant.

“Even though these people are people who have been identified as positive for Covid-19, they should be stay at home or centralized isolation,” he said.

Budi said his party will continue to track people who have been exposed to Covid-19 but still carry out their mobility. Later the government will take action, requesting that the person undergo isolation.

“That way we can track them down and make sure we take them immediately for our isolation,” he concluded.
