Mayor Of Banda Aceh: Coffee Shops, Malls And Shopping Centers Must Be Supervised

JAKARTA - Banda Aceh Mayor Aminullah Usman ordered the COVID-19 Task Force team to closely monitor crowded places such as coffee shops and shopping centers during the implementation of the implementation of micro community activity restrictions (PPKM).

"We have ordered a team to monitor closely, such as at coffee shops, Suzuya mall, Atjeh Market, Plaza Aceh which gathers many people," Aminullah Usman said in Banda Aceh, as reported by Antara, Monday, July 12.

Aminullah asked that by being given operational time until 21.00 WIB, the public was asked to carry out health protocols (prokes) in a disciplined manner.

Aminullah emphasized that his party was still imposing sanctions on prokes violators in accordance with the Banda Aceh Perwal Number 51 of 2020 concerning law enforcement and discipline of health protocols.

"If there are residents who violate it, they will be subject to sanctions according to the Perwal, both customary sanctions and fines," he said.

Then, said Aminullah, regarding sanctions against places of business also still apply as has been implemented so far, namely in the form of warnings to business closures.

"Prokes must be carried out in a disciplined manner, otherwise sanctions for business premises will be sealed, businesses closed, and don't blame the government," Aminullah said.

On this occasion, Aminullah also reminded that the implementation of the upcoming Eid al-Adha prayer on 20 July 2021 should not all gather to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, but only to the mosque in their respective areas of residence.

"Similarly for the implementation of the sacrifice, the committee will deliver the meat to the community by distributing coupons, so that there are no crowds," said Aminullah.
