eligious Affairs Minister Fachrul Razi has recovered from COVID-19, a ministry expert staff member confirmed on Thursday. Fachrul has been discharged from Bunda Hospital in Menteng, Central Jakarta, and has returned to his home after being treated since Sept. 20.
“Alhamdulillah [praise be to God], the minister was declared to have recovered on the afternoon of Sept. 30 and returned home. He said he was happy and grateful for his recovery,” Kevin Haikal said in a press statement on Thursday.
Despite his recovery, Fachrul still has to rest at home for the next few days. He has delegated his tasks to Deputy Minister Zainut Tauhid and other officials while he is recuperating in isolation.
Kevin added that Fachrul advised the public to comply with health protocols, saying that being a COVID-19 patient had taught him not to underestimate his health.
“Please adhere to health protocols and wish the minister a speedy recovery,” he said.
Fachrul is the third minister to test positive for COVID-19 and recover, after Transportation Minister Budi Karya and Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Edhy Prabowo.
In March, Budi was treated at Gatot Subroto Army Hospital (RSPAD) in Jakarta for COVID-19. In the following month, he recovered from the virus. He expressed his gratitude to the doctors and medical team at RSPAD in Jakarta for their hard work and dedication in helping him recover from COVID-19.
