T
he regency of Bogor in West Java is gearing up for mass-testing of holidaymakers in a bid to curb COVID-19 transmission during the long weekend.
The long weekend centers on the public holiday of Maulid (commemorating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad) on Thursday, with Wednesday and Friday declared collective leave days.
Bogor Regent Ade Yasin said three locations would be rapid test spots, namely Gadog, the Matahari Tourism Park and Gunung Mas.
“We will conduct rapid tests on Oct. 29, for tourists,” said Ade on Tuesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
“We have prepared 1,000 rapid tests for the three locations. The goal is to screen people who come to Puncak,” she continued.
Ade emphasized that the rapid test was free for tourists because the service was provided by the West Java administration.
“Rapid tests are carried out simultaneously in five cities/regencies in West Java, including Karawang and Cirebon,” added Ade.
