Task force lauds involvement of military, police as COVID-19 tracers 9th March 2021
Domi Monardo, Chief of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force. (9/3/2021) ANTARA/Devi Nindy Jakarta (ANTARA) - COVID-19 Handling Task Force Chief Doni Monardo praised the involvement of personnel of the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) and Police (Polri) in tracing COVID-19 cases as a correct step since many had a medical background.
In fact, the TNI and Polri have several hospitals in various regions across the country, Monardo noted here on Tuesday. Several Babinsa (community police) personnel have background as nurses. It is not difficult to train those, with experience of being nurse, to serve as tracers, Monardo remarked while addressing the National Coordinating Meeting on Disaster Mitigation organized by the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).
