This is based on the experience of Helma Agustin, a volunteer Dompet Dhuafa Hong Kong (DDHK), who returned to retire from work on October 11, 2020, to East Lampung. "There are several documents that are required and must be fulfilled since I was in Hong Kong," he said.

By paying a fee of HK $ 300, we can do the Covid-19 test. "Doctors who serve can speak Indonesian. The doctor was also quite patient in providing explanations and directions, ”said Helma.

“I called the doctor to make an appointment a week before my flight back to Indonesia. I was asked to come, get a bottle for phlegm and register. Then, I was asked for my home address and looked for the closest clinic or hospital to where I lived to hand over a bottle of sputum for PCR testing without having to return to Causeway Bay, ”said Helma.

Because Helma worked at North Point, the doctor at the Dr Soong clinic gave the phone number of the nearest clinic to hand over a bottle of sputum. The result, can be obtained 2-3 days, depending on the treating doctor.

"Because I admitted I had, I was asked to provide evidence from the doctor to be examined, whether my Covid-19 test document was still valid or not. After being stated okay, I was invited to check-in, "said Helma.

On the plane, Helma and other passengers were asked to fill out a form of health data. The form asked him to write down his full name and address. "If you don't want to fill out a paper form, we can download an application that is already written on the paper," he said.

Upon arrival at the Indonesian Airport, Helma and the passengers who had just gotten off the plane were directed by airport officials to fill in two more health alert forms. In this yellow form, Helma is asked to fill in her identity, which country information came from, and complaints of illness (if any).

To fill it, Hemla was accompanied by officers. After filling it in, then hand it back to the officer, along with the Covid-19 test result document that he obtained from the Hong Kong clinic to be stamped.

"When I arrived in East Lampung, I asked to see the results of my Covid-19 test. After that, I was advised to quarantine myself independently at home for 14 days, ”said the volunteer who is active as a mentor for the DDHK Institute's Migrant sewing class. [Lina / DDHK News]
