Upon arriving at Jaha hamlet in RW 011, Jatimekar, Jatiasih, Bekasi, to return to work as a housemaid on August 15, 2020, 20-year-old SF was prohibited from entering her employer’s house. Instead, her employer gave her some money and told her to take a rapid test as she did not have a Covid-19 free statement letter after traveling to her hometown of Pekalongan, Central Java. SF then went to the nearest hospital to take the test. Her test result was reactive.
