Malang (malangkota.go.id) – As the increase in Covid-19 cases triggered by the emergence of a number of clusters in several areas, including in Malang City, various efforts have been made by a number of parties such as the National Police. In Malang City on Friday (25/6/2021) the Traffic Unit (Satlantas) of the Malang City Police provided free vaccines and antigen swab tests for residents who wanted to make and extend their Driving Licenses (SIM).

For residents who received AstraZeneca in their first vaccination and/or did not want to undergo an antigen swab test, they cannot be served.
