Regent of Lebak, Banten, Iti Octavia Jayabaya

LEBAK - The Regent of Lebak, Banten, Iti Octavia Jayabaya asked the public not to crowd, especially on New Year's Eve 2021. The aim is to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

"We ask cafes and stalls to close their activities at the turn of the New Year," said Iti Octavia in Lebak as quoted by Antara, Monday, December 28 evening.

Regent Iti said the people of Lebak Regency should be at home with family members on New Year's Eve. This is because the chances of contracting COVID-19 will increase if there is a crowd.

So far, COVID-19 cases in Lebak Regency have tended to increase and almost every day there are additions.

Therefore, Regent Iti asked the people of the New Year, especially the millennial generation, not to crowd and gather because they could create clusters of COVID-19 transmission.

"We hope to maintain the quality of health by not gathering and gathering at the turn of the New Year," he said.

According to him, the local government is very serious about controlling COVID-19, including the Regent Regulation (Perbup) Number 28 of 2020 concerning New Habit Adaptation (AKB) as well as the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB).

In addition, it also takes action against violators of health protocols by imposing fines so that they don't repeat themselves.

Joint COVID-19 surveillance officers from Satpol PP, TNI and Polri every day hold mask operations for two-wheeled and four-wheeled riders at a number of points in the Rangkasbitung area and its surroundings.

"We ask residents to leave their homes to wear masks, keep their distance, wash their hands and avoid crowds," he said.

Regent Iti appealed to the public not to travel outside the area during the New Year's holidays, especially the Covid-19 red zone because it can infect yourself, family and those closest to you.

"We are sure that if residents gather, it will be confirmed that the number of COVID-19 cases will increase and increase," he said.
