"Let's invite the whole people by involving religious and traditional leaders to succeed in the implementation of the health protocol," the TNI Commander told reporters.

Idham Azis, related to the high tally of COVID-19 cases in the province which has touched 5.332 with 263 death toll as of July 23, 2020.
According to Marshal Hadi, the local government assisted by TNI-Polri in South Kalimantan has done the right things in handling COVID-19.
3T effort, namely testing, tracing, treatment has been running optimally. Even health facilities have been provided, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) devices continue to increase.
"We hope with all these efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic can be suppressed under the condition we want, until people return to be productive as we all hope," he said.
