“Last night, the rapid test kit was distributed to health clinics all throughout Jakarta” Safrizal said.

He said that it had been communicated with the Governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, that the rapid test kit will be prioritized for Jakarta residents on a list, traced to have been in close contact with COVID-19 positive patients.

Then, the second phase of the rapid testing will be geared for medical personnel active in handling COVID-19. Upon the arrival of more test kits, regional rapid tests will then be done.
