Two of the three Indonesian fishermen rescued by Australia after their boat sank in Pulau Pasir waters, Timor Sea, will return to Indonesia this week, an official of the Indonesian Consulate in Darwin, Australia, stated.
“The most probable time that the two fishermen will return to Indonesia will be this week, as their conditions have improved, and they have recovered already,” coordinator of consular affairs at the Indonesian Consulate in Darwin, Australia, Yulius Mada Kaka, informed ANTARA here on Wednesday.
The two fishermen, Melki Giri and Habel Kanuk, have spent more time for their recovery at the Royal Darwin Hospital after being diagnosed with COVID-19 during their treatment there, he remarked.
He noted that fishermen — Giri and Kanuk — as well as another fisherman Riki Balu, who originated from Rote Ndao District, East Nusa Tenggara, were rescued after their boat got wrecked at sea…
