Buyer Dies Suddenly While Eating, Taman Bojana Culinary Center Shop In Kudus Is Closed

KUDUS - The Trade Office of Kudus Regency, Central Java, was forced to close a food stall located in Bojana Park, which is a regional culinary center. The closure was carried out to avoid the transmission of COVID-19, following a case of a buyer who died suddenly while eating.

According to the Head of the Trade Office of Kudus Regency, Sudiharti, the closing of the food stalls at Taman Bojana Kudus will begin today, Thursday, June 10, until the time limit is yet to be determined.

Food stall owners have been advised not to serve meals on the spot, but to wrap them up to take home, following the spike in COVID-19 cases in Kudus Regency.

It turned out, he said, that they were still serving meals on the spot, even though the appeal was anticipated that residents from out of town with large groups of people buying food and drink did not create problems regarding the transmission of the coronavirus.

This was involved in the incident of a buyer who died at one of the food stalls in Taman Bojana Kudus on Wednesday (9/6).

"If there are food stall traders who violate, they will be subject to strict sanctions in accordance with the regulation of the Kudus Regent number 41/2020 concerning the Implementation of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as an Effort for Prevention and Control of COVID-19 in Kudus Regency," he said, quoted by Antara.

Meanwhile, the closure of six sudden markets or impromptu markets is still in effect today, following the unrelieved cases of COVID-19. This is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 because the sudden market location has the potential to create a crowd.

The closing of the sudden market itself begins on May 28, 2021 until June 7, 2021. However, because the results of the evaluation of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 in Kudus, their case has not yet been extended, so it has been extended.
