PALANGKA RAYA – EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION BUREAU. The Public Communications Team of Central Kalimantan Covid-19 Handling Task Force delivered a press release regarding the data on the Covid-19 pandemic until Thursday (24/02/2022) at 3 p.m.

In a statement released this time, the Covid-19 Handling Task Force said that the Ministry of Health had updated the provisions for the exit test or test to determine the completion of the isolation period with the one time PCR test only, which was carried out five days after the first test result declared positive for Covid-19.

With this latest regulation, if the PCR test result on the 5th day shows a negative result, the PeduliLindung status will change to green. If you do not perform a PCR exit test, the status will automatically turn green on H+10. This change is effective from 22 February 2022.
