DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the fines collected for violating health protocols imposed on companies and cafe and restaurant managers reached Rp6.9 billion.

This was conveyed by Anies during an operation to control cafe, restaurant and restaurant activities in Kemang, South Jakarta, together with the DKI Jakarta Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda) on Friday, June 18 evening.

Restaurants, restaurants and cafes can be subject to a maximum fine of Rp. 50 million and revocation of permits if they violate the health protocol repeatedly, as stated in DKI Governor Regulation Number 3 of 2021.

"Later, the amount will be recapitulated, because the provisions are not only for restaurant fines, but also for the use of masks, the fine is Rp. 250,000 and has accumulated 6.9 billion (due to) violations," said Anies in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Friday, June 18 evening.

During the review, officers still found violations of health protocols (prokes), namely the 50 percent capacity limit for visitors was exceeded.

Anies emphasized that the imposition of sanctions is not only aimed at the managers of restaurants, cafes and restaurants, but also the public or visitors who do not wear masks.

The fine can be up to Rp. 250,000 if people don't wear masks.

However, Anies reminded that the threat of fines is not only due to the enforcement of the governor's regulation, but also guidelines for the safety of citizens from exposure to COVID-19.

"This is not just a matter of enforcing the rules, but about safety. We obey the rules. So if we want to come, just be orderly. Because this is a matter of safety," said Anies.
