Not Vaccinated Yet? Banned From Entering Bukittinggi, Definitely Rejected By Police And Civil Service Police Unit

JAKARTA - The Bukittinggi Police Traffic Unit together with the TNI, Dishub, and Civil Service Police Unit examined motorists passing through the Bukittinggi Police jurisdiction to be vaccinated.

This operation was carried out to accelerate the achievement of the vaccination target at the border of Bukittinggi City and Agam Regency, Ujung Bypass Gadut, Monday.

The Head of Traffic at the Bukittinggi Police, AKP Ghanda Novidiningrat, said that the traffic police would check for drivers who had not been vaccinated. If they do not want to be vaccinated, they are asked to turn back immediately and are not allowed to enter Bukittinggi City.

"We are doing it to accelerate vaccination in the West Sumatra Province, especially the City of Bukittinggi and the East Agam region, all for mutual safety", said Ghanda, Monday, October 25, quoted from Antara.

According to him, the joint security forces conducted checks on motorists at several location points, such as at the entrance to the City of Gadut intersection, in front of the City Police, in front of the Bukittinggi Police Headquarters, and other locations.

If the driver does not have a vaccine card and has not been vaccinated, the officer will direct the driver to be vaccinated at that location.

"We provide vaccine booths at inspection locations that involve health workers, for drivers who have not been vaccinated, they are required to be vaccinated first at the location", he said.

He added that to accelerate herd immunity, these activities will be routinely carried out for the next one week in the Bukittinggi and East Agam areas. In this activity, his party also involved the TNI, Department of Transportation, Civil Service Police Unit, and the vaccinator team from the Hospital in Bukittinggi.

"This action was also taken considering a large number of residents from outside the City of Bukittinggi who are active in this area every day", said Ghanda.
