MEDAN - Officers found a number of reckless passengers hiding on the roof of public transportation using tarpaulins to trick guards at the homecoming ban sealing post in Medan, North Sumatra.
Officers who inspect public transportation and private cars from outside medan city forced the passengers to disembark at the Eid al-Fitr homecoming ban, Jalan Jamin Ginting, Medan, Monday, May 17.
Officers consisting of TNI/Polri, Satpol pamong praja, Dinas Perhubungan, Dinas Kominfo, and Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) medan city checked the passenger's body temperature, and they were not allowed to continue the journey.
In addition, the driver who carries three passengers on the roof of public transport is punished with a "push up", for violating traffic rules that can endanger safety.
"We do the sealing by randomly stopping the vehicle, and measuring body temperature. If there are passengers whose body temperature is above 37 degrees Celsius, then antigen swab tests are carried out," said postman Kompol Efendi Sinaga.
The Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, last week said that the homecoming sealing post in this border area is an effort to control the mobility of residents from outside Medan to suppress the spread of COVID-19.
"For overall anticipation, Mebidangro (Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang and Karo) is not closed. This is what the potential is. So we try, we test the people who will travel to Deli Serdang," explained Bobby.
