JAKARTA - The West Jakarta Metro Police carried out health protocol raids (prokes) at a number of nightclubs in the area to anticipate the spread of COVID-19, Saturday night December 18.

"We will continue to carry out enforcement of health procedures at night entertainment venues such as not being allowed to open beyond the specified time limit," said West Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol Ady Wibowo when confirmed in Jakarta, Sunday 19 December.

He explained that the raids were carried out in several areas of West Jakarta, such as Bfashion karaoke, Holywing karaoke, Newroyal, Travel Karaoke, Crown and Pujasera.

In addition to checking operating hours, Ady also checked several health facilities at night entertainment venues such as hand sanitizers, hand washing stations and body temperature measuring devices.

From the results of the monitoring, Ady did not find any violations committed by the management of the entertainment venues.

"They have complied with the regulations for opening and closing business premises in accordance with government recommendations and have also provided a CareLindung barcode for visitors," he said.

Although no violations were found, Ady ensured that his party would continue to raid nightclubs.

Ady hopes that this raid activity can discipline the night entertainment business actors to comply with the prokes provisions.

Previously, the West Jakarta City Government did not slack off in monitoring progress in a number of public places.

Raids carried out by the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) are also routinely carried out at several entertainment venues.

Not only that, the City Government also emphasizes to the public to increase awareness of the importance of implementing prokes.

"The point is that the most important thing is awareness to obey health protocols, that's the key. Other than that, there is nothing," said Head of the West Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit Tamo.

According to Tamo, the West Jakarta City Government has maximized the number of health care provisions.

Starting from the obligation to wear masks to limiting the number of residents' capacity in public places, the City Government has implemented it during the pandemic.

"We have been socializing for almost the last two years. We hope that the public will be open and have high awareness to obey health protocols," said Tamo.
