Safrizal emphasized that the case of Dr. Imai’s death was the first case of a doctor who died in Aceh due to Covid-19.

IDI Aceh called on the local government to take concrete steps to reduce the number of Covid-19 cases in Aceh.

For example, limiting the movement of citizens and increasing the number of tests to determine the spread of the virus.

“Then multiply the tests and do an active search for cases. Isolate those who test positive under strict medical supervision,” he said.

“If not, Aceh will continue to lose its best son little by little,” Safrizal continued.
