SOLO - The Surakarta City Government stated that the Central Java movement at Home Only will be adjusted to local wisdom, including the activities of business actors in the local area.
"Solo is a city that never sleeps, so traders like HIK (cat rice) should also be given the opportunity (to keep selling)," said Surakarta Mayor FX Hadi Rudyatmo in Solo as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, February 3.
FX Rudy said that if business actors, especially micro-scale, are prohibited from running their business as long as the "Central Java at Home" movement is implemented, the Surakarta City Government does not have the budget to meet the needs of residents.
"The municipal government of Surakarta does not have the ability if traders demand, 'Sir, I don't sell for two days, I don't get income. Where do I eat from? This must be considered," he said.
However, his party will continue to coordinate with the Regional Secretary and the Surakarta City Government's Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 to follow up on the Governor's Circular (SE) regarding the movement.
"I respond according to the Governor's Circular Letter. What is required at home is that people do not have any activities, for example, civil servants on Saturday-Sunday are off. The second one is to adjust it to their respective local wisdom," he said.
FX Rudy ensured that the SE Mayor of Surakarta regarding the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) which lasted until February 8, 2021 was still valid.
In the SE, one of them regulates that residents can continue to hold a celebration event, but not in their respective residences, but in a large capacity hotel or conference hall with a maximum number of guests of 300 people.
"Because of pity for my residents who have spread invitations for celebration at the hotel, they continue to 'not' work. However, the restriction on guests is 300, we recommend technically to ask for another permit here, we recommend it. We tolerate it but still tighten health protocols," he said.
