Citizens' Resentment About The Overflow Of Soekarno Hatta Airport Which Violates PSBB
JAKARTA - The situation from the COVID-19 pandemic, in Indonesia, is still not in a safe status. But somehow, the government has provided an exception for citizens who wish to travel by air.
This can be seen from the crowd of passengers who are processing flight documents at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Similar to the #McDSarinah incident, netizens criticized the crowd for ignoring social or physical distancing at the airport.
From VOI's search, the incident began when a Twitter social media user @adriansyahyasin uploaded the atmosphere at Soekarno Hatta Airport which is claimed to be located in Terminal 2. It was seen that the situation of passengers was quite busy and booming when going to undergo a rapid test at the airport.
"The combination of the indiscretion of the Indonesian government and its people who are opportunistic and reckless will make this country the last to survive this pandemic. At peace with the virus, he said, now McD is CGK Airport," tweet @adriansyahyasin.

At least until 14:42 WIB, there were 3,500 thousand tweets from netizens who criticized this. The hashtag #Soetta has also become a hot trending topic on the Twitter social media universe.
Not only that, another account @ Wulanps51383893 questioned the government's policy regarding citizens who are allowed to travel out of town. He assumed that only those who brought assignments should be allowed to leave, but not ordinary citizens.
The atmosphere at Soetta Airport today. I'm confused, isn't it that those who go to the regions are just official matters? So how come? The service why is the bundle going back and forth? So, whose official letter did you make? It's not like the office is still closed for certain industries. Eh Bambwang! The increase in covid is 689, you know! pic.twitter.com/VizXBdUThz

There is also an @Effendi account which regrets the congestion situation that occurred at Soetta Airport. Because of the violation of the PSBB policy like this, he felt that the rules for worshiping and holding Eid prayers at the mosque were useless.
Still want to stop people from leaving Friday? Do you still want to warn residents not to pray Eid al-Fitr in mosques? Two phenomena below; In Terminal 2 of Soetta Airport and McD Sarinah, Jakarta, residents are left scattered while praying to the mosque is made difficult. pic.twitter.com/mWVMMry6fo

Meanwhile, the Twitter account @UmarChelseahsb criticized the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya for deciding to open this public air route. He believes, there will be a spike in COVID-19 cases if situations such as at Soetta Airport continue to occur.
