New Year's Eve In Banjarmasin, The Crowd Live COVID-19 Test

BANJARMASIN - The Banjarmasin Police, together with Kodim 1007/Banjarmasin and the local municipal government held an antigen swab test on New Year's Eve as an effort to suppress the spread of COVID-19.

"If there is a gathering that has the potential to violate health protocols, we will immediately conduct a random COVID-19 test," said Banjarmasin Deputy Chief of Police AKBP Sabana Atmojo, quoted by Antara, Friday, December 31.

According to him, the public must comply with the prohibition on crowding on New Year's Eve considering that we are currently still in a pandemic situation.

According to him, decisive action was taken by his party to disperse every crowd. Those who are stubborn are immediately tested for COVID-19.

Then the joint TNI-Polri officers also vaccinated people who were found to have not been injected with the vaccine.

Vaccine card raids were also carried out by officers at several points, including picking up balls for visitors to hangout places, such as cafes, restaurants and so on.

Sabana stated that the achievement of vaccination in the capital city of South Kalimantan, which is already above 75 percent, continues to be boosted to reach 80 percent, according to the city government's target.

"So we also use the momentum of the New Year's Eve to increase vaccination achievements so that community immunity is really formed in this city," he said.
