KENDAL – The relaxation of health protocols has increased the number of ship passengers at Kendal Port, Central Java. The head of Kendal Port UPTD Andi Rahmat explained that passengers who want to return to Kumai no longer need to include the results of the antigen test.

"According to the existing circular, the antigen is no longer available, it is for passengers who have received at least two doses of the vaccine. Meanwhile, those who have just been vaccinated still have to do an antigen test,” he explained while monitoring the departure of KMP Kalibodri, Sunday, May 22.

At this departure, the number of passengers who are still required to have an antigen is only below 10 percent, most of whom have received the vaccine twice.

"With this easing, passengers no longer need to queue and wait for test results. Passengers who have tickets directly board the ship," he added.

One of the passengers said that this relaxation made it easier for passengers to no longer have to queue while waiting for the results to be distributed.

“There are still antigens because my husband has just been vaccinated and my child is comorbid. My first child and I have been vaccinated twice so we don't need an antigen,” explained Evi, a passenger who will return to Kalimantan.

These hundreds of passengers were crammed into the exit of the waiting room, and after being allowed to board, they immediately rushed and scrambled to enter KMP Kalibodri.

Meanwhile, IPTU Agus Suwandi Kasatpolairut Kendal Police appealed to all KMP Kalibodri passengers to stay alert and stay healthy.

"I appeal to all passengers of KMP Kalibodri to stay alert and be careful of any crimes. We from the security team always maintain security in the Kendal Resort Police area," said Kasatpolairut Kendal Police.
