VIVA – Rizieq Shihab is again in the public spotlight, this time not because of the billboard with his face that was knocked down all over Jakarta by soldiers of the Indonesian National Army (TNI) from the Regional Command Military (Kodam) Jaya / Jakarta. But because they don’t want to undergo a health swab test related to handling the transmission of the Corona Virus or COVID-19.
This new problem with the FPI leadership emerged after he left Ummi Hospital, when the Mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya, asked for a COVID-19 swab test. Rizieq refused because he insisted that he had undergone a swab test with a medical team from MER-C.
Even though MER-C is not the party referred to by the Bogor City COVID-19 Task Force to carry out the COVID-19 swab test. And the Rizieq swab test by MER-C never knew the results. Rizieq also disappeared after leaving Ummi Hospital through the back door on Saturday night last week.
Rizieq’s action created new problems, Ummi Hospital was polished, and MER-C was finally kept busy because they had to undergo an examination at the police.
And the big problem that Rizieq Shihab may not realize is that he has disturbed the Lieutenant’s struggle General TNI Doni Monardo who is trying hard to save people’s lives from the COVID-19 attack.
A few hours after Rizieq disappeared, the Commander General of the Special Forces Command (Danjen Kopassus) 27 immediately spoke up. In fact, the person with three TNI gold stars on his shoulders issued an ultimatum to Rizieq Shihab.

Lieutenant General Doni Monardo stated that one of the main weapons for the COVID-19 Handling Task Force in controlling the transmission of COVID-19 is 3T, Testing, Tracing and Treatment (Test, Trace and Follow Up.
