JAKARTA - A member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Regional House of Representatives, Gilbert Simanjuntak, regretted the convoy of supporters of Persija Jakarta that took place at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout last night.

"The provincial government should have urged this crowd from the start", Gilbert said when contacted, Monday, April 26.

If it is able, Gilbert asks the DKI Health Office to trace which DKI residents were present in the crowd of Persija's victory convoy for a COVID-19 test. Then, Anies must be able to anticipate so that a similar incident does not happen again.

"I ask them to register the group to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and be more anticipatory if there is a potential crowd", he said.

Last night, several Persija Jakarta supporters carried out a convoy on MH Thamrin Street towards the Hotel Indonesia roundabout, Central Jakarta. The convoy was held to celebrate Persija's victory over the Menpora Cup.

These Jakmanias packed a section of MH Thamrin Street, unfurling banners and wearing various Persija attributes. Some of them are not wearing masks.

In fact, in his Instagram account, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has reminded the citizens of DKI not to celebrate Persija's victory by crowding around.

"I invite all of us to celebrate at home, don't flock out, don't crowd because it has a risk of transmission during the pandemic", said Anies.

It is known, Persija Jakarta managed to win the Menpora Cup 2021 after beating Persib Bandung. In the second leg match at the Solo Manahan Stadium, Sunday, April 25, Persija beat Persib 2-1.
