Prominent Muslim preacher Syekh Ali Jaber died on Thursday following 19 days’ treatment at Yarsi hospital
in Central Jakarta.
The 44-year-old cleric was admitted to the hospital in December after complaining of fever, coughing, and
shortness of breath. On Dec. 29, 2020, he announced on his social media accounts that he had tested
positive for COVID-19.
“I didn’t expect to contract the virus as I'd taken PCR tests several times before and I always got negative
results. I also didn’t meet a lot of people [recently] and always adhered to health protocols," Ali said at that
time.
His condition worsened shortly after the announcement. He was later transferred to the hospital's intensive
care unit (ICU) where he was treated until his death.

Yarsi hospital's spokesperson Elly M. Yahya said Ali had been declared coronavirus-free prior to his passing.

"He had undergone a PCR test a few days ago and the result came back negative," Elly said on Thursday as
reported by Kompas TV.  She, however, did not specify Ali’s cause of death.
