“We have calculated the worst case, more than 40 thousand, how about the supply of oxygen, medicine, hospitals, we have calculated everything,” said Luhut.
As an anticipation, the government will prepare a Hajj Dormitory in Pondok Gede for COVID-19 patients who are not accommodated in several large hospitals such as the Wisma Athlete Hospital.
The Hajj hostel is in decent condition and has been directly checked by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Luhut said the capacity could be for 800 patients.
“The Minister of Health has prepared an ICU, such as the Hajj Dormitory Hospital in Pondok Gede,” he explained. The TNI and Polri are also optimized by establishing Emergency Hospitals, especially in the Jakarta and Surabaya areas.
Luhut also ensured the availability of oxygen in the worst situations such as additional cases that reached 70 thousand per day. Likewise with the availability of medicines and other health facilities.
“Until today, we have calculated the oxygen, the scenario has been made by the team, it can reach 50 thousand, even at worst we have made up to 60-70 thousand cases per day. But we don’t expect that to happen,” he explained.
