JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan found that businessmen violated the rules for implementing Micro-scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) during sudden inspections of a number of restaurants and cafes in the South Jakarta area.
Anies together with the Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran and the Regional Military Commander Maj. Gen. Mulyo Aji made a surprise inspection in the Kemang area of South Jakarta, Friday, June 18 evening.
"We still find irresponsible practices from managers where the maximum space capacity of 50 percent is exceeded," said Anies Baswedan.
He revealed that several places of business were immediately closed and even imposed a maximum fine of Rp. 50 million.
"Earlier, some were immediately closed, fined, some were even fined 50 million, and could not operate. For the first violation, it was 1x24 hours, closed immediately one hour after the violation was found," said Anies.
He revealed that the maximum capacity of 50 percent is not only a regulation, but is also the responsibility of the manager to participate in suppressing the transmission of the disease from the SARS CoV-2 virus.
"To the managers, restaurants, cafes and restaurants, think about the safety of you, of the visitors where you are working. In the end, when your family or relatives are hit, all of you will feel the tension," Anies added.
Prior to conducting surprise inspections that were held simultaneously in all areas of Jakarta, Anies led a joint meeting with the TNI, Polri and DKI Jakarta Forkopimda ranks at Monas Square, Central Jakarta, Friday afternoon.
During the joint assembly, Anies explained that the DKI Jakarta Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda), from the TNI, Polri to the City Government, would carry out policing operations.
In the control operation, officers check, supervise, and follow up on all forms of health protocol violations.
Officers monitor community activities and places of business which are limited to 21.00 WIB.
The control operation was carried out to observe that the positive cases of COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta had soared again.
Positive cases of COVID-19 in the capital city rose significantly over the past few days with an additional 4,737 cases bringing the total to 463,552 this Friday.
Meanwhile, data on the number of active cases, namely people who are still being treated/isolated in Jakarta, increased by 2,173 cases, bringing the number of active cases as of Friday, June 18, to 24,511.
