JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has implemented the requirement for vaccination to carry out activities for its citizens. Anies said the additional PPKM Level 4 rules were carried out to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

Anies said, activity managers such as owners of food stalls to offices are responsible for enforcing the rules by checking vaccine certificates for everyone who comes. Otherwise, the manager will be penalized.

"The manager is responsible that everything on the premise, both employees and guests, must be vaccinated. The manager will be penalized (if violated). So, people who have not been vaccinated should not be allowed to enter, because it is risky," said Anies when met in the Central Jakarta area, Tuesday, August 3.

Anies added that although residents had received up to two doses of vaccination, adherence to health protocols must still be carried out. Bearing in mind, the rules that have been vaccinated for activities are an additional effort to minimize the transmission of the cotona virus.

"So it should not be interpreted that if you have been vaccinated twice and then you are free to travel anywhere. Health protocols must still be followed," he said. For information, Anies has issued vaccination rules as a condition for activities. The rules are applied to employees and customers of restaurants, food stalls, offices, malls, traditional markets, salons, hotels, to wedding guests.

He said, this effort was made to suppress the spread of the virus when non-essential sectors were opened. "Looking at the fact that in Jakarta the speed of vaccine delivery is quite high, and the reach of those who have been vaccinated has reached 7.5 million. So we decided that vaccines are part of the stages for community activities," said Anies some time ago.

Furthermore, Anies said that the opening in each sector will be carried out in stages, and it is certain that this stage must be related to vaccination.

"Before the activity starts, the perpetrators in that sector, the perpetrators of the activities must be vaccinated first. So, for example, a barber who wants to open, may. But the barber must be vaccinated first, and those who want to shave must have been vaccinated. vaccinate employees first. Those who want to eat in restaurants must also have the vaccine," he said.

Not only that, said Anies, non-essential offices that want to carry out work from office (WFO), shopping centers, entertainment venues may also open if they have been vaccinated. Thus, the opening stage is accompanied by the necessity to vaccinate all perpetrators.

Vaccine requirements as an administrative activity include religious activities. The organizers, as well as the participants, must all have been vaccinated.
