JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said 11 million people will mobilize during the 2021 Christmas and New Year 2022 holidays. The rate is based on calculations from the Ministry of Transportation.
Anies' statement reads the message from the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo while leading the troop deployment in the 2021 Lilin Jaya Operation at the Metro Jaya Police, Thursday, December 23.
"Based on data from the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia, it is predicted that around 11 million people will carry out mobility during the Christmas and New Year holiday period," said Anies.
So, it is feared that community mobility can cause several problems. One of them is the spread of COVID-19.
"It has the potential to cause disturbances in public security and order (Kamtibmas), and order and smooth traffic (Karlantas Kanseltib), as well as the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Anies.

Therefore, it is important to carry out the 2021 Lilin Jaya Operation. Joint officers of the TNI-Polri and the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) will suppress community mobility.
Adding that the Director of Traffic of the Metro Jaya Police Grand Commissioner Sambodo Purnomo Yogo stated that to suppress community mobility during Christmas and New Year, his party will set up service posts at several points.
Later, the officer on duty at the post will urge the public not to crowd and move around.
"Then we will set up service posts at crowded centers, malls, churches, and so on," said Sambodo.
Meanwhile, to prevent mobility during the 2022 New Year, continued Sambodo, his party will implement a Crowd Free Night (CFN) scheme.
This scheme will cover areas that have the potential to become community gathering locations. For example, entertainment venues to shopping centers.
"The implementation will be on December 31 at night at 22.00 until January 1 at 04.00 western Indonesia time," he said.
At least, there are 10 areas that will be closed during the 2022 New Year holidays. Among others, Sudirman-Thamrin, Kemang, Bulungan-Barito, Senopati-Gunawarman-SCBD, Asia-Africa, Kota Tua.
Furthermore, the East Flood Canal area, Kemayoran, Kelapa Gading, and the Monas area. The closures in the Monas area were carried out on all Medan Merdeka street, either North, West, East, and South.
