Widespread breadth of Covid-19, led to
the disaster at the Minister of Transportation. On March 14, 2020, the Minister
of State Secretary, Pratikno stated, laboratory tests had been issued and
tested positive for Covid-19. Budi Karya Sumadi previously complained about shortness
of breath and was immediately referred to the Army Hospital, Jakarta. It was
suspected that Budi Karya Sumadi was triggered by the corona virus because
several times Budi Karya had visited corona-prone areas. President Jokowi has
ordered tracking wherever the area Budi Karya Sumadi has visited. The current condition
of Budi Karya Sumadi was stated to be getting better in intensive care. The
good news, which was a report from the Army Hospital and the Minister of Health
that Budi Karya Sumadi's condition was getting better. The hospital was
currently working hard to improve his condition.
Budi Karya Sumadi was a formidable
figure. He strongly survived the calamity that befell him at that time. It wasn’t
wrong if he was appointed as a person who was trusted by the president to take
care of transportation, namely as the Minister of Transportation. The
widespread spread of Covid-19 also made many people panic and fret. Therefore,
besides maintaining our health, we also need to maintain cleanliness. We must not
panic and worry, just by taking care of our health and away from the crowd, we
can survive this Covid-19. May we all be healthy, of course, don't forget to
get enough rest. Stay safe, and stay health.
