CIANJUR - Hundreds of tourists passing the Puncak-Cianjur Route, West Java, were returned to their respective areas of origin because they did not carry a certificate of COVID-19 antigen-free. They were caught by officers at the Cianjur Gentur-By Pass Light Roundabout.

The Head of Ops for the Cianjur Police, AKP Alan in Cianjur on Sunday, said that the Cianjur Police and the Task Force had insulated them as an effort to break the chain of spreading dangerous viruses during the long holiday at the end of the year. Visitors or tourists are required to bring a COVID-19 antigen-free letter.

"Most of those who are sent back to their respective areas are migrants and tourists who want to take a vacation to the Puncak-Cipanas area. More than 100 people have been netted at the Gentur Light Roundabout," he said as quoted by Antara, Sunday, December 27.

The blockages were also carried out at a number of points starting from the entrance to Cianjur from West Bandung, the Cianjur-Sukabumi Line to be precise on Jalan Raya Gekbrong and the Bogor-Cianjur border to be precise in the Puncak Pass area. Those who do not have a COVID-19 antigen-free document will be returned to their hometowns.

The lockdown will be carried out until New Year's Eve, in an effort to break the chain of spreading dangerous viruses and to raise awareness of citizens in implementing health protocols. This is also to anticipate the crowd ahead of the new year.

"We will also disperse any crowds that occur, if there are still those who are stubborn, they will be subject to strict sanctions. We urge motorists from outside the city to be allowed to vacation in the Cianjur area, provided that they bring along a COVID-19 antigen-free letter," he said.

Meanwhile, dozens of four-wheeled motorists with police numbers outside the city such as Bandung, who crossed the Cianjur By-pass route, chose to turn right when they saw the insulation carried out by joint officers. Even the same thing can be seen in the Puncak Pass area and the Bandung Barat-Cianjur border.
