JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan stated that he would take action against all restaurant managers who did not apply the health protocol (prokes) rules. Especially about the rules limiting 50 percent of visitors.

The statement was conveyed by Anies through his personal Instagram account, @aniesbaswedan. The statement was made after holding a joint inspection with the Regional Police Metro Jaya and Military Area Command (Kodam Jaya).

"All restaurant managers who violate are immediately reprimanded and given sanctions, from fines to temporary closures. So that managers can comply with health protocols in accordance with the applicable regulations at Micro-scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM)", said Anies as quoted by VOI, Saturday, June 19.

In addition, Anies also asked all restaurant managers to obey the rules. This is because the regulation was made not for the benefit of one party, but for the safety of all Jakartans.

"To the managers of restaurants and cafes, let's take a responsible attitude. Think about your own safety, the safety of visitors to your place of business", said Anies.

On the other hand, Anies also continues to remind all Jakartans to participate in supervising the implementation of the program. He asked the public to report if they saw any violations.

"To all of you, please report if you see a violation, don't be silent. If you go to a restaurant, and it looks full, don't force to eat there. Look for another empty place or it's better to just order from home", said Anies.

For information, the DKI Provincial Government has prepared the Jakarta Kini (JAKI) application that can be downloaded with smartphones, where residents can directly send their reports which will be followed up by the DKI Provincial Government.
