MAKASSAR - Overcrowded shopping centers in Makassar, South Sulawesi (Sulsel) are in the spotlight. The Mayor of Makassar M Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) conducted an inspection at Panakukkang Mall.
The inspection was carried out because of the large number of people who shop in malls without complying with health protocols. Whereas on Thursday, April 29, the Makassar City Government has sent a circular for the shopping center to ensure the implementation of the proctes.
"I always say that it is not prohibiting economic activities to be carried out in Makassar City. However, the covid 19 virus still needs to be watched out for. Therefore, I asked the mall manager to implement the entrance protocol system. This means that if the mall has exceeded the capacity, the doors must be closed, ”said Danny Pomanto after the inspection, Sunday, May 2.
If there are visitors inside who leave after shopping, the manager can allow queues of visitors to enter.
"I emphasize that if this rule is ignored by the mall manager, the closure of the mall will be carried out by the Raika Task Force in collaboration with the TNI and Polri. The last way to take if they still do not implement the prokes then the mall permit will be revoked, "said Danny Pomanto.
He did not want the tsunami incident in India to occur in Makassar. Because of that, Danny Pomanto reminded him that the implementation of health protocols must be obeyed.
"I do not forbid selling, but please take care of each other so that Makassar can immediately break the chain of COVID-19. Tomorrow our manager will summon a meeting at City Hall and several tenant representatives, "said Pomanto.
