BOGOR - Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto emphasized that there should be no parties held by residents on New Year's Eve 2022, so that there are no crowds that cause a spike in the spread of COVID-19.

"There can be no parties, no firecrackers, no fireworks, we Forkopimda will continue to circle around reminding residents until the beginning of the year," he said in Bogor City, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 29.

Bima emphasized that this was related to the PPKM level 1 status that was enforced in the city of Bogor, so it would be a special concern for the government in terms of preventing the spread of the Corona virus disease again, as in July and June 2021.

Residents are invited to understand that there are two conditions that are the same as the two months that also occur before the end of this year's holiday. The condition is that there is a new variant of the Omicor COVID-19 and there will be a fairly dense movement of residents from normal days.

The city of Bogor, according to Bima, has experienced this experience so it should be a valuable lesson for all parties.

"So these are very important phases. Because we anticipate spikes like in June and July. There are new variants and there is citizen mobility. For this reason, we urge all residents of Bogor not to celebrate the new year, "explained Bima Arya.

Bima asked his residents to celebrate New Year's Eve from home or in places of worship, not to go around, let alone to cause crowds that could potentially spread the virus.

As Chair of the Covid-19 Handling Task Force, Bima Arya has also led an assembly for the title of security forces on New Year's Eve, Sunday morning, in front of the Denpom III/1 Bogor Headquarters, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Central Bogor District.

In the apple, Bima Arya was accompanied by the Deputy Chair of the COVID-19 Task Force, the Head of the Bogor City Police, Kombes Pol. Susatyo Purnomo Condro, the Deputy Mayor of Bogor, Dedie A. Rachim and the Regional Secretary, Syarifah Sofiah, along with other Forkopimda elements.

He conveyed that in accordance with the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs (Immdagri) Number 67 of 2021, which is a derivative of the Immendagri of 66, the emphasis is also on owners of business premises.

The status of PPKM level 1 in Bogor City continues to follow the direction of a maximum capacity of 50 people in cafes and other business places with operating hours also set until 24.00 WIB.

However, especially for malls and shopping centers, they have to start closing at 21.00 WIB and actually close at 22.00 WIB.

Not only that, Bima Arya asked all State Civil Apparatus (ASN) within the Bogor City Government not to leave the city. All on duty and picket in turn to participate in securing New Year's Eve. The regional apparatus, sub-district and village heads are no exception.
