MAKASSAR - The integrated TNI-Polri team and the Crowd Decomposition team (Raika) formed by the Government of Makassar, South Sulawesi, cracked down firmly on dispersing crowds in a number of crowded places to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

"We continue to patrol a number of crowded places, such as cafes, coffee shops, restaurants to nightlife venues, in case the crowd is immediately disbanded," raika team leader Iman Hud was quoted as saying by Antara, Sunday, May 23.

Until now, hundreds of chairs and tables have been confiscated by joint officers, because business owners are suspected of violating the COVID-19 Health Protocol, one of which caused a crowd.

In addition, dozens of businesses were also given a stern warning letter for violating the rules of the prokes. If it is still found to be in violation then the business owners are given a stern witness whether the facility was confiscated until the revocation of the business license.

This is in line with the application of Mayor Regulation No. 51 of 2020 concerning the Application of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as An Effort to Prevent And Control Corona Virus Disease 2019 And Makassar Mayor Regulation No. 53 of 2020 concerning Guidelines for The Implementation of Health Protocols in the Implementation of Crowd Activities.

The rule is in line with presidential instruction number 6 of 2020 and Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs no. 4 of 2020 as the legal umbrella of the Makassar City Government in drafting the Trust. And in accordance with the rules of The Application of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) from the Central Government to break the chain of spread of the virus.

"Last night we also dispersed the crowd and stopped activities at THM Holywings Metro Tanjung Bunga, then THM Orbit on Jalan Andi Pangeran Pettarani, as well as Karma impersonating Cafes and Resto but the operation is THM and selling Liquor on Jalan Hertasning," he said.

Kasatpol PP Makassar stated that a number of THM violated the Health Protocol and operating hours until opening until the early hours of the morning so that strict sanctions in the form of written reprimands were given to the management.

"A written stern rebuke was given by the business manager after the dissolution and termination of his activities. In addition to causing crowds, it also violates the operating hours of the deadline at 20.00 WITA, because the activity passes 00.00 WITA. If it still violates, the permit is threatened with revocation," Iman asserted.

He expressed appreciation for the involvement of tni polri officers during the dissolution and cessation of activities that create crowds. This can not be separated from the synergy and strong coordination with the legal apparatus, until the community begins to comply with the prokes.

But still there are offenders who underestimate the prokes, so that it is processed whether it is giving a warning letter until given a fine and social witnesses as a deterrent effect.

Makassar Police Chief Kombes Witnu Urip Laksana stated that since the beginning police personnel have been involved in handling, accelerating and preventing the spread of COVID-19. Personnel were also assigned to assist Raika's team while carrying out operations.

Meanwhile, Commander Kodim (Dandim) 1408/BS Makassar Colonel Kav Dwi Irbaya also helped the Police and Raika Makassar team by lowering their personnel to join the patrol to create Kamtibmas.

According to him, government rules through micro-scale PPKM continue to be implemented to prevent the spread of the virus in line with the makassar government program, namely Makassar Recovery which is expected to control the pandemic.
