JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya opened dozens of antigen rapid test health service posts in the border area during the long Christmas and New Year 2020 holidays. The goal is to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and the emergence of new clusters.
"30 service posts and personnel that we are involved in here," said the Head of Public Relations at Polda Metro Jaya, Tuesday, December 22.
Yusri said the dozens of service posts were divided into two. The first is in the Jakarta area. Then, the rest were scattered throughout the border area.
"This includes services at train stations, airports, and also at bus terminals," he said.
Dozens of health posts will provide services for free. In addition, the purpose of establishing the post is also to disentangle the crowd of people who want to carry out rapid tests at airports or other public facilities.
"Including the toll roads, we will also make a drive thru there, so a drive thru swab is either antibody or antigen to the public," continued Yusri.
However, Yusri has not been able to clearly explain the implementation mechanism. Everything is still being prepared.
"We'll see what kind of people will depart. But we will do everything possible," he said.
For your information, the Ministry of Transportation has issued a circular (SE) regarding the implementation instructions (operational guidelines) for people's travel by transportation during the Christmas and New Year holidays during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The SE Ministry of Transportation, one of which requires the requirements for rapid antigen test results on a number of public transportation during the Christmas and New Year 2021 holiday season, takes effect today.
"The validity period of the SE Ministry of Transportation for sea, air and rail transportation is valid from December 22, 2020 to January 8, 2021 and for land transportation, it is from December 19 to January 8, 2021," said Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Adita Irawati on Monday, December 21.
In general, the health requirements in the form of a rapid antigen test, PCR swab, or antibody rapid test do not apply to children under 12 years of age. Then, all travelers are required to fill out the Electronic Health Alert Card (e-HAC) from the official website of the Ministry of Health.
