PALEMBANG, TheIndonesiaPost – Covid-19 cases are increasingly growing in South Sumatra, this is not without reason, because the Governor of South Sumatra Herman Deru asked the public not to worry about the development of Covid-19 which is currently happening in South Sumatra.

Those who have contact with these patients will immediately be taken to the specimen and followed by a swab test.
