JAKARTA - The Head of the Greater Jakarta Ombudsman Representative, Teguh Nugroho, asked DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to re-impose the entry and exit permit (SIKM) in the capital city.

Because in the tightening of micro PPKM from June 22 to July 5, Anies requires all companies except the essential sector to implement work from home (WFH) as much as 75 percent.

Teguh is worried that, as a result of this policy, many employees take this opportunity to work while on vacation outside the region because they are not required to go to the office.

"This SIKM is important as part of the control function for workers who work from home (WFH) so they don't become work from holiday," said Teguh to reporters, Friday, June 25.

Teguh assessed that restrictions on shopping centers and the closure of tourist attractions in the capital city are feared to raise the potential for these workers to move out of town and work from their vacation spots.

Therefore, the ideal way to do this is to supervise employees from the agency or company where they work, supported by control over the implementation of PPKM by implementing SIKM by the DKI Provincial Government.

However, Teguh proposes that SIKM is only applied to employees who work in places of business other than the essential sector.

Workers in essential sectors such as delivery of basic necessities and goods delivery services can be excluded from this provision by reflecting on the previous implementation of SIKM.

"In the previous SIKM provisions, registration obligations in the food and goods delivery sector were found to actually hinder the flow of basic needs and goods," he explained.

Previously, Anies tightened a number of rules in the micro PPKM period from June 22 to July 5. This is stated in the Decree of the Governor of DKI Number 769 of 2021 concerning the Extension of the Application of Micro-Based Community Activities (PPKM).

The following are the new rules for DKI micro PPKM until July 5, 2021:
