Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan Tests Positive for Covid-19

Prior to Anies and Riza, Religious Affairs Minister Fachrul Razi and Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi also contracted Covid-19.

Prior to their Covid-19 positive results, Anies and Riza met Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) chief Rizieq Shihab following his return from exile last November.

The firebrand cleric also held a number of mass gatherings in Jakarta and Bogor, West Java, which resulted in a number of Covid-19 clusters.

The FPI’s flaunting of health protocols also resulted in political repercussions, as the police summoned Anies and West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil for allowing the gatherings.
