The cure rate for Covid-19 patients in the PT Freeport Indonesia work area in Mimika Regency, Papua Province to date has reached 99 percent. The External Corporate Communication Manager of PT Freeport Indonesia, Kerry Yarangga in Timika, on Wednesday, said that from the cumulative cases of 2.960 people who were exposed to Covid-19, there were 2.927 recovered patients.
"We are grateful that the cure rate for Covid-19 patients in all PT Freeport Indonesia's work areas, both in the highlands and lowlands of Mimika, is very encouraging, reaching 99 percent," said Kerry. Currently there are 28 active Covid-19 patients in the Freeport area. A total of 16 people are undergoing isolation at the Tembagapura barracks, while 12 people are undergoing isolation at the Mile 38 barracks.
On average, all active Covid-19 patients who are still undergoing the isolation program do not show signs and symptoms. Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit PT Freeport Indonesia in April 2020, to date there have been five cases of death. There are 52 cases of death due to Covid-19 in Mimika Regency. Kerry acknowledged that the current trend of transmission of Covid-19 cases in the Freeport area, including in Mimika Regency, continues to decline.
Even so, he said, the implementation of strict health protocols must be followed by all employees and it is still maintained. "So far, the restrictions in the work area are still in effect, as usual there are work shifts, and in each work area you must also keep your distance and the employees who work not too much to avoid congestion," he said. In addition, every employee and his family who have just returned from carrying out work leave in their home area are required to take an antigen check after arriving at Mozes Kilangin Timika Airport. "Every passenger who comes from outside Timika, even though they already have a rapid antigen at their place of origin, when they arrive in Timika they are immediately directed to the base camp to carry out another rapid antigen to ensure that their status is truly healthy and free from Covid-19. If the result is negative, then the person concerned is only allowed to travel to Tembagapura, Kuala Kencana and other company work areas," Kerry explained.
