Medan City Government emphasized that since the initial launch of Kesawan City Walk, it has imposed conditions for traders and visitors to apply the COVID-19 health protocol (prokes). Operational hours are also limited to 22.00 western Indonesia time.

"We also support PPKM (Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities), especially at 15 minutes before 22.00 western Indonesia time. At that time, officers announced to traders and visitors that the operational hours of Kesawan City Walk would end soon," he continued.

"Starting Monday (19/4) night, visitors, at 22.00 western Indonesia time, have disbanded. We are also giving traders half an hour to pack their wares," said Benny Iskandar.
