"We continued to monitor the condition for casualties to results of the sample of blood that was sent it was known. However, casualties at this time did not yet make use of respiratory aids (the ventilator)," said Adlin. Adlin added, the condition for casualties at this time was stable, but still was treated in isolation space intensively to guard matters that were not wanted. In fact, casualties's family ask for to come home.

[ Pardon me for "snipping" a bit of your post there, but that's actually the street address of the 2 yr-old (not his/her name) and we're trying to keep suspects' home addresses off the board here. Village is ok -- but not street address. Thanks! ]

From Wikipedia:

Deli Serdang is a regency in the Indonesian province of North Sumatra. Deli Serdang is located south and east of Medan. The capital of the district is Lubukpakam, located approximately 30 km east of Medan.

Boundaries of the district:

To the north: the Langkat Regency and the Strait of Malacca
To the south: the Karo Regency and Simalungun Regency
To the east: the Asahan Regency and the Strait of Malacca
To the west: the Karo Regency and Langkat Regency

This map doesn't give the precise location of where this family is from, but just a general idea of the area/distances we're talking about. Lubukpakam is the capital of Deli Serdang, the regency where this family is from. Kabanjahe is the capital of the Karo regency. We've also seen some bf suspects from in/around Tebingtinggi. And, Medan, of course, is where the hospital, RS Adam Malik is located.
