I wish to notify (the public) of my health condition. As you understand that in the past few weeks I paid a working see to a number of areas which recorded a rise in COVID-19 cases, such as Kudus and Bangkalan.
Jakarta – Specialist group organizer and spokesperson for the COVID-19 Action Task Force, Wiku Adisasmito, confirmed he has tested positive for the infection after taking a trip to areas where cases have actually increased in the previous couple of weeks.
” I wish to inform (the public) of my health condition. As you know that in the past few weeks I paid a working see to several areas which recorded a surge in COVID-19 cases, such as Kudus and Bangkalan,” he said in a press statement released on Saturday.
He stated he evaluated favorable for COVID-19 after taking a quick antigen swab test on Friday (June 18, 2021).
” To confirm the outcome of the antigen swab test, I took a PCR swab test. Based upon the result (of the PCR) test I received today, I have checked favorable for COVID-19,” he informed.
Adisasmito said he felt well and was optimistic about recuperating soon.
” As I said earlier, I paid a main see to numerous areas and remained disciplined in following health procedures. It is most likely that I was exposed (to the coronavirus) when I performed the activity, my endurance dropped due to fatigue,” he added.
He then asked individuals who have actually come in close contact with him to take the antigen test as part of tracing efforts.
” I attract the general public to remain disciplined in following the health protocols, including using masks, cleaning hands, and keeping physical range,” he said.
Anybody can be exposed to COVID-19, he warned.
” Just by being disciplined in following the health protocols can we secure ourselves from COVID-19 transmission,” he worried. (INE)
