12 People Confirmed Positive Corona, Papuans Instead Reject Rapid Test

News24xx.com - Residents in two RTs in the Klaligi sub-district, Sorong city, West Papua, reject a rapid test to detect coronavirus transmission early.
This examination was carried out because there were 12 people in the settlement complex of Jalan Perikanan, Kelurahan Klaligi, Distirk Manoi, positively confirmed COVID-19. But they refused the examination and chose to undergo independent isolation.

Then the Covid-19 Handling Task Force team and village officials were assisted by the police and the TNI to persuade residents to be willing to follow the inspection process. But only some are willing to take a rapid test.

Based on the results of the inspection, the team decided to do a quick test on all residents in the two RTs. Therefore, on Wednesday the team conducted a rapid test on all residents without exception.
