JAKARTA - Head of the Public Information Bureau of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, said that his party had given easing in supervision of Lebaran homecoming activities this year.
In contrast to the pandemic conditions of the past two years, the police will not block vehicles that pass through the homecoming route to check the completeness of the conditions for going home, one of which is the COVID-19 vaccination.
"We do not carry out checks, in the sense of checking for those who are not vaccinated. But we are preparing security posts and service posts with the Ministry of Health," Ramadhan said in a virtual discussion, Monday, April 25.
Therefore, Ramadhan ensures that the police will not turn back homecoming vehicles whose drivers and passengers have not received the third dose of vaccination or booster or who have negative results of the COVID-19 test.
"We make sure that there are no activities like last year, turning the vehicle around," said Ramadhan.
Therefore, Ramadhan emphasized that at this time the community is placed as a subject who secures himself in going home activities with the awareness to vaccinate.
"So if there are people who are aware that they have not been vaccinated, we will provide vaccine booths at service posts," he said.
As is known, the government has set a policy that people who have received the third or booster dose of vaccination are free to return to their hometowns.
Meanwhile, for people who have just carried out the second dose of vaccination, they can still go home but must complete a negative COVID-19 antigen test result within 1x24 hours or 3x24 hour PCR.
For people who are still undergoing the first dose of vaccination, they are required to do a 3x24 hour PCR test and attach a negative COVID-19 result before traveling.
Children under 6 years old do not need testing but are accompanied by a travel companion who meets the travel requirements. Then children aged 6-17 years are not tested but must show a second dose of vaccine.
Then, for people with certain health conditions so that they cannot be vaccinated, they are obliged to carry out PCR testing 3x24 hours and attach a certificate from a general practitioner or local hospital.
