JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menkomarves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said that currently there was a significant decline in the use of the PeduliLindung application in public spaces.

The downward trend in the use of application screening made by the Ministry of Health has occurred in the transportation sector, shopping centers, restaurants and recreation areas.

"This week, 74 percent of regencies and cities in Java-Bali experienced a downward trend in the use of PeduliLindung check-ins compared to last week," Luhut said in a virtual press conference, Monday, December 13.

Luhut said that there are a number of places that do not require visitors to use the PeduliLindung application. Or, only some visitors use the PeduliLindung QR code so that it does not represent the conditions on the ground.

Therefore, Luhut reminded each region to be more vigilant about the use of the PeduliLindung application in public spaces and to impose sanctions for those who violate it.

"I ask the Regional Government and policy makers to carry out more massive enforcement regarding Care to Protect in the three sectors to ensure that those who are active in public are healthy people," Luhut explained.

Furthermore, Luhut appealed to the public to be aware that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, even though conditions in Indonesia are under control. He asked the public not to be overly euphoric during the Christmas and New Year holiday periods with crowds.

"Today we don't need to be happy and complacent about the results we achieved together today. We never know what will happen to us in the future due to the carelessness and negligence of all of us," he added.
