As the number of confirmed cases and fatalities from COVID-19 continues to rise, the government has prepared an apartment tower from the former Kemayoran athletes village – now an emergency hospital for infected patients in Central Jakarta – to house asymptomatic coronavirus patients for isolation, a top official said on Saturday.
Hundreds of migrant workers recently returning from other countries were forced to spend hours waiting for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests outside the Kemayoran Athletes Village COVID-19 emergency hospital due to technical problems.
Grab Indonesia is providing free GrabWheels electric scooters for medical personnel treating COVID-19 patients at the emergency hospital in the former athletes village in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.
The facility also prioritizes COVID-19 patients, elderly suspects and suspects with mild to moderate breathing problems, says Jakarta Military commander and hospital head Maj. Gen. Eko Margiyono. However, he says patients with severe and worsening symptoms would be referred to another hospital.
