T
he Education and Culture Ministry has announced that 123 college students in the country tested positive for COVID-19 after taking part in protests against the Job Creation Law.
“After the rallies, COVID-19 task force spokesperson Wiku Adisasmito reported that 123 college students had tested positive for COVID-19,” the ministry’s higher education director general, Nizam, said on Sunday as reported by kompas.com.
He went on to say that the majority of the cases were reported in Jakarta with 34 students, followed by Surabaya in East Java with 24, Medan in North Sumatra with 21, and Bandung in West Java with 13 students. The remaining 31 students tested positive in other parts of the country.
However, the information reported by Nizam differs slightly from a statement issued by Wiku last week.
