YOGYAKARTA - Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, will require all travelers who enter their territory to pocket the results of the rapid antigen or PCR swab test.

"That's a government regulation, yes, for those who travel in December, it is mandatory to go for rapid (antigen), for swab," Sultan said during a press conference at the Kepatihan Complex, Yogyakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, December 18.

According to the King of the Yogyakarta Palace, this rule is inevitable because it has become a national policy.

Because it is the policy of the central government, according to the Sultan, the Yogyakarta Regional Government no longer needs to issue a circular regarding the regulation.

"No, it is automatic that the central government has already been like that, yes, we only inform it because it is not my decision. If we issue a (circular), it is derived from the decision of the central government," he said.

"We also want to go to other places and we have to show the letter when we have been swabbed," he said.

When asked about the inspection of vehicles at the DIY border, the Sultan said it was unnecessary. The reason is that vehicles intending to enter DIY have been checked first in the Central Java region.

"Before we stopped at the Central Java border, we stopped it first," he said.
