JAKARTA - Head of DKI Jakarta Satpol PP, Arifin, confirmed that his party has coordinated with the Bogor City and Depok governments regarding the implementation of curfew restrictions in the two buffer areas.

"We are conducting joint joint operations at the border, because there is a letter of coordination from the Satpol PP of West Java Province which plans to impose a curfew in Depok and Bogor in order to prevent COVID-19," Arifin said when contacted, Thursday, September 3.

Therefore, Satpol PP DKI will conduct joint patrols to anticipate the movement of people moving to Jakarta after the curfew applies in Depok and Bogor.

This joint patrol with Satpol PP Depok and Bogor was carried out at border points. The plan is for the joint operation to start on Saturday, September 5.

"The plan is that Saturday there will be a joint operation in the border area, especially with regard to masks. We will anticipate the mobility of people heading to Jakarta, increasing surveillance in the border area at night," said Arifin.

The City Governments of Depok and Bogor implement a curfew system. People in Bogor Tikda are allowed to congregate after 21.00 WIB, starting August 29.

Meanwhile, Depok prohibits residents from doing activities outside the home when it is past 20.00 WIB. Malls, cafes, restaurants and restaurants have also been asked to limit operations to a maximum of 18.00 WIB.

As a rule there will be few exceptions for delivery services. The Depok City Government allows its operational time to be up to 21.00 WIB. This regulation was made as part of the efforts of the Depok City Government to control the transmission of COVID-19.

Restrictions on mobility by implementing a curfew were carried out in line with the West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil's decision to extend the proportional PSBB period in Bogor, Depok and Bekasi until September 29.
