The North Jakarta administration is set to provide rapid tests for people in flood shelters, should floods hit the area in the near future.
North Jakarta Health Agency head Yudi Dimyati said that every person around the refugee shelter would be tested.
“Officers are strongly advised to maintain their distance from flood victims when taking them to shelters,” Yudi said as quoted by antaranews.com on Tuesday.
He also explained that his agency was performing early screening to minimize coronavirus transmission risk. Those who test positive for the disease will be taken immediately to a temporary COVID-19 hospital at Wisma Atlet Kemayoran in Central Jakarta.
Furthermore, staff and refugees alike are required to implement health protocols at all times, such as wearing a face mask, maintaining distance and washing hands.
