DENPASAR - The Bali Civil Service Police Unit synergizes with the East Java Satpol PP to conduct joint surveillance at Gilimanuk and Ketapang ports during the 2021 Christmas holiday and welcome the 2022 New Year.

"Not tightening, but joint supervision in accordance with their respective authorities. Friends (Satpol PP-red) East Java are at Ketapang Port and we are at Gilimanuk Port," said Bali Provincial Satpol PP Head Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi in Denpasar, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 15th.

Rai Dharmadi emphasized that the joint supervision was not to limit people who want to go in and out of the islands of Bali and Java, but to screen whether they had followed the provisions contained in the Instructions of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 66 and 67 of 2021.

Regarding the synergy and collaboration in supervision with the East Java Provincial Satpol PP and Banyuwangi Regency Satpol PP, Rai Dharmadi and his staff have held a coordination meeting in Banyuwangi, East Java.

In addition to joint supervision involving the Satpol PP of East Java Province, his party also carried out personnel thickening along with the ranks of the Transportation Service, TNI, Polri and ASDP Gilimanuk.

Rai Dharmadi stated the requirements that must be met by domestic travelers (PPDN) via land and sea, including having received two COVID-19 vaccination injections and bagging a negative rapid antigen test result.

"The Health Service has also prepared free COVID-19 vaccination facilities at Gilimanuk and Ketapang ports. In addition, a number of outlets are available to conduct rapid antigen tests," said Dharmadi who is also the Acting Head of Kesbangpol Bali Province.

With a number of supervisions carried out by Satpol PP in synergy with relevant stakeholders, Rai Dharmadi hopes that tourists who enter Bali via land and sea can be monitored properly according to health protocols.

"To keep COVID-19 cases under control, we need consistency and our shared responsibility. Especially after the Christmas and New Year holidays, it is a gamble for Bali whether COVID-19 cases can be kept under control," he said.

According to him, controlled COVID-19 cases are the main requirement so that Bali can safely welcome and organize a number of international activities in 2022.
