Chairman of the IDI COVID-19 Task Force Tells the Corona Test Experience Up to 5 Times, First Time Paying Millions

The story about the experience of the Corona test was also told by the Coordinator of the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Trial, Kusnandi Rusmil. He has had PCR swab tests and rapid tests each three times.

“Yes, a total of 6 times I tested for Corona. At the beginning of the Corona test, I went to an area where the environment was still one office. It turned out that this area was the center of the spread of COVID-19. Yes, I was immediately reprimanded at the hospital,” said Kusnandi.

“At that time, it happened to be late at night. When I wanted a swab test, someone said, ‘Doc, how come this test is expensive too (no mention of price).’ I said, “Just let it go. I want to know. He kept saying,” But the result can’t come out right away. ” I said it’s okay. “

For the next Corona test, there is already a free one, so Kusnandi doesn’t pay anymore.

“In the hospital where I work, Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung. If the officer wants to check the swab, there are certain times. We can check it for free,” he continued, a clinical pediatrician.

“But there are also certain times that if we want to test, we pay. For example, the free PCR test period is open once a week or two weeks. But if we’re in doubt, it’s better to keep checking again (not waiting for the free test) . “
