BANDUNG - The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) forbids the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) from taking leave at the end of 2021 when the Level 3 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) are enforced.

Bandung City Regional Secretary Ema Sumarna said this was implemented to control the spread of COVID-19 so it would not spike due to a number of big holidays at the end of the year.

"What I have said is that civil servants or any institution cannot take leave," said Ema at Bandung City Hall, West Java, quoted by Antara, Friday, December 3.

In addition, he also appealed to the general public not to do excessive activities in order to minimize mobility.

According to him, the Bandung City Government together with the police will carry out a number of blocking access to the city of Bandung with an odd-even system for vehicles.

"So there should be no activities that are fishing and cause crowds, for example fireworks are not allowed," he said.

The police will also close 10 highways in the center of Bandung. The closure will take effect on New Year's Eve from 18.00 WIB to 05.00 WIB on January 1, 2022.

He confirmed that he would impose sanctions for entertainment or tourist attractions that violate the PPKM Level 3 provisions by the end of the year.

"If they insist on activities, they will be disbanded and then they will also be warned harder if they don't comply," he said.
