Back to Corona's positive cases, out of a total of 14 cases, nine people were still isolated at the Djamil Padang Central M General Hospital and Achmad Muchtar Bukittinggi Regional General Hospital. Meanwhile, four co-19 positive patients in West Sumatra performed independent isolation. One more positive patient has died.

Nasrul also did not deny that there were differences in data related to the positive case of Corona in West Sumatra, between the results of the Indonesian Ministry of Health's Litbangkes and the results of the Unand Faculty of Medicine Laboratory. Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health Litbangkes released via covid19.go.id, Corona positive patients in West Sumatra were recorded as 8 people. While from the data of FK Unand Lab, it recorded 14 people.

According to him, since being given permission to release test results on specimens of suspect corona patients, the co-19 handling task force in West Sumatra had held data from the Unand FK FK Lab. He stressed, the specimen test results in the FK Unand Lab were valid and had been accredited and certified by the World Health Organization (WHO).

"The results of the FK Unand Lab's research are not kidding because they are in accordance with WHO standards," Nasrul Abit said.

Nasrul did not want the differences in data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health's R & D with the FK Unand lab to be a long debate. According to Nasrul the main focus of the current government is to deal with the corona virus so that it can be quickly overcome and its impact can be overcome early on. ***
