About The Prohibition Of Going Home, Ganjar Pranowo: There Are No Special Facilities For Certain Groups

JAKARTA - The Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo emphasized that there are no exceptions for certain groups related to the implementation of the 2021 Eid homecoming ban, in order to anticipate an increase in COVID-19 cases.

"There is no special facilitation for certain groups, all the rules are the same. So if they really have to go home in a condition in accordance with the regulations, just follow it there," said Ganjar, in Semarang, Friday.

Ganjar reminded that the COVID-19 cases that emerged in Pati Regency began with homecoming residents, as well as cases in Purbalingga Regency that appeared during face-to-face learning (PTM) checks and came from Islamic boarding schools.

"This means that it is not a matter of the other, let's take care of ourselves not to go home, if there is someone who is forced to follow the rules, if by following the rules I think all the rules already exist," he also said.

The PDI-P politician also ensures that there is no priority for certain groups of society, because everything is the same in the eyes of the law.

"What is not the same is what is permitted by the regulations determined by the ministry and the task force," said Ganjar.

The government officially prohibits people from carrying out Lebaran 2021 homecoming.

The prohibition is stated in the Circular of the Head of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force Number 13 of 2021 concerning the Elimination of Homecoming in the month of Ramadan and Idul Fitri 1442 Hijriah.
