KUDUS - The government of Kudus Regency, Central Java, is fighting hard to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases, one of which is by issuing a new policy inviting the public for two days to stay at home on June 5 and 6.

"We only ask for the willingness of the public for two days, namely Saturday, June 5-6 not to go anywhere, just stay at home to avoid crowds and to be safe from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)", said the Head of the Kudus Regency COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Task Force who is also the Regent of Kudus Hartopo, quoted by Antara, Friday, June 4.

The invitation to stay at home for two days, he said, was stated in Circular Number 360/1314/04.03/2021 concerning the Appeal to Stay At Home Only on Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6 2021 in order to control the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia. Holy.

Hartopo hopes that people who have no interest will limit their mobility, only on weekends. However, his party will not close economic sectors in Kudus Regency, such as markets, factories, and supermarkets.

"Of course there are restrictions, both in terms of capacity and other technicalities. Markets, supermarkets, and factories must also have a task force", he said.

Meanwhile, the implementation of micro-scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) will also be tightened by collaborating with the jogo tonggo program.

There are also parties involved in monitoring the implementation of the two-day call to stay at home, starting from the TNI, Police, Civil Service Police Unit, sub-district head, village/district, Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19, Task Force for Jogo Tonggo, to the head of the hamlet and the head of the RT/RW (Citizens Association).

The Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 in Kudus will coordinate with the TNI, Police, sub-district heads, village heads, and the Jogo Tonggo Task Force to conduct a random antigen rapid test for residents who do not comply with the advice to stay home.

If residents are found whose rapid test results are reactive or positive, they will be followed up with isolation at the designated COVID-19 isolation center.
