Kapanlagi.com - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) is involved in the handling of the Covid-19 outbreak in Makassar, South Sulawesi. They have prepared a ship owned by PT. Pelni as a self-isolation facility (isoman) for Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms.
The Director General of Sea Transportation, R Agus H Purnomo, said that Kemenhub has granted permission and continues to coordinate with the state-owned enterprise regarding the provision of the ship. On the other hand, the operational aspects of isolation and the provision of healthcare workers (nakes) will be coordinated by the local government.
"This is done to assist the Makassar City Government in response to the high number of positive Covid-19 cases and limited treatment facilities in Makassar," said Agus on Thursday (15/7) as quoted from Antara.
Dirjen Agus said that PT Pelni has prepared the passenger ship KM Umsini for floating isolation. The ship arrived on Wednesday (14/7) at Makassar Port.
The KM Umsini ship, which is currently temporarily out of operation (port stay) due to the Emergency PPKM, has a capacity of 1,995 beds. The maximum usage is 50 percent of the total capacity, which is 868 beds, including 68 beds for healthcare workers (via merdeka.com).
On another occasion, Director of Sea Traffic and Transportation (Dirlala) Antoni Arif Priyadi mentioned that the provision of ships for floating isolation is still in the preparation stage. One of the aspects being prepared for this floating isolation is the determination of the ship's status as a self-isolation facility by the Directorate General of P2P, Ministry of Health.
"Preparations are also being made regarding the duration of implementation, the position of the ship's berth/mooring," said Antoni Arif Priyadi, as quoted from merdeka.com.
The floating isolation facility consists of beds, ship crew, medical equipment, PPE for the ship's crew, healthcare workers, security personnel, consumption, and medical waste management.
"Currently, only core crew members are allowed on board and there is a rolling process every two weeks," he added.
This floating isolation ship is not sailing. The ship is anchored around Lae Lae Island, approximately 1.6 kilometers from the city of Makassar. This location was chosen to facilitate the Makassar City Government in monitoring and distributing logistics and medicines for patients on the ship.
All crew members on duty will undergo regular health checks. To ensure the safety of self-isolating citizens, PCR tests will be conducted before each shift change for the crew members.
"Health workers and crew members on duty will also be regularly monitored for their health. And before each rotation, they will undergo RT-PCR tests first," he added.
