Even for 9 weeks there was no additional positive case of a single person, "said Suharyanto.
Then, he and the East Java Police Chief also wanted to check the implementation of the health protocol on the eastern tip of the island of Madura, in connection with the increase in Covid-19 cases in Bangkalan Regency, which is a neighboring district of Sumenep.
