JAKARTA - At least 10 road users crossing the city center of Trenggalek Regency, East Java, were caught by judicial operations in order to enforce health protocols.
The operation led by the Acting Secretary of Tulungagung Andrianto was held to remind the public to obey the use of masks in public places, in order to anticipate the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in the area.
"Today we are carrying out judicial operations on road users who do not comply with health protocols, do not wear masks and so on," said Regional Secretary Andrianto, Thursday, February 17, quoted from Antara.
For road users who do not wear a mask or wear a mask but lower it under the nose/mouth, light sanctions will be imposed by singing the national anthem/heroism or reading Pancasila.
"The sanctions are very humane. Some are asked to recite the Pancasila, push ups, then sing the national anthem and so on. Even if they are unable to do so, prokes violators are given a sanction to clean the yard even if only in a small room," he said.
Andrianto reminded, public awareness for the enforcement of health protocols is very necessary. The reason is, the COVID-19 variant of Omicron which is now endemic is called highly contagious.
"The judicial operation in Trenggalek Regency is extraordinary. We express our gratitude to the TNI-Polri, Satpol PP and law enforcement officers who carried out this judicial operation," he said.
Similarly, the Head of the Trenggalek Regency Fire and Police Satpol, Triadi Admono, emphasized that judicial operations would continue to be carried out at random but measured times.
"As many as 10 violators have been caught and we will give social sanctions," he said.
Triadi said that the 10 road users who were caught by the judicial operation were all not wearing masks. Then wear a mask but don't cover the mouth and nose, and bring a mask but don't use it or put it in a pocket.
"Together with other law enforcement officers, we will always carry out judicial operations to remind and increase public awareness of health protocols. He appealed to the public to continue to apply 3M (maintaining distance, wearing masks and washing hands frequently)," he said.
