JAKARTA - The Government of Purwakarta Regency, West Java, has prepared firm action against rogue cafe and restaurant managers who do not comply with health protocols (prokes) and violate operating hours following the implementation of the Restriction on the Enforcement of Micro Community Activities in the area.

"Starting next week we will take firm action against the managers of cafes and restaurants that do not comply with health protocols and PPKM. The sanctions are not just a warning or a fine, but we will close it," said Purwakarta Regional Secretary Iyus Permana, in Purwakarta, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, 18 February.

He said in his provisions on the PPKM the operational time limit for the cafe or restaurant is until 22.00 WIB, with details of receiving visitors until 20.00 WIB. Then at 20.00 to 22.00 WIB "take away" or take home.

The regional secretary said that his party had previously gathered the managers of cafes and restaurants in Purwakarta to socialize the rules, as well as warn of sanctions if they violated them.

According to him, the strict sanctions were applied as part of the efforts of the Purwakarta Regency Government to follow up on the existence of cafes whose operating hours exceed the specified limits.

"The sanctions are firmly implemented in the hope that there will be no more cafes and restaurants that violate provisions during the PPKM," he said.

Iyus Permana added that the implementation of the micro-scale PSBB is in accordance with the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 3 of 2021.

Meanwhile, according to the results of the evaluation of the central task force through the province to the district level, the Purwakarta area is still in the orange zone status or with a moderate level of alertness.

Purwakarta Regent Anne Ratna Mustika hopes that this alert status can be reduced to the yellow zone or at least it can be maintained in the orange zone.
