CIANJUR - The Cianjur COVID-19 Task Force, West Java, tightens daily barriers at the two Cianjur borders, specifically in the Puncak Pass area and the Citarum-Haurwangi Bridge.
The head of the Cianjur COVID-19 Task Force, Herman Suherman, said the blocking at two border points was focused on minimizing the crossing of migrants from outside the city, especially from red zones such as Bandung and Jabodetabek.
"Drivers who pass without a COVID-19 free certificate from the red zone are prohibited from crossing and officers will return them to their area of origin. We will not take any risks because the transmission in a number of sub-districts in Cianjur is still high", said Herman, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, June 29.
Herman explained that in the last month the transmission rate reached 772 people, higher than in May which only 460 people. So that various efforts were made, including prohibiting all civil servants (ASN) and residents from traveling outside the city, especially those with red zone status.
The blocking and inspections that are carried out every day on a random schedule, he said, will be supported by other barriers along the national road and the Cianjur protocol, including tourist attractions on weekends.
"We also continue to urge residents not to do a lot of activities outside the home as an effort to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. Because until now, the availability of isolation rooms in a number of hospitals and special villas has been fully filled", he said.

He advised that residents who were exposed to COVID-19 but not accompanied by other diseases could undergo independent isolation in their respective homes while still receiving supervision and services from the task force and health workers from the local Public Health Center (puskesmas).
"For now, those who experience severe symptoms can be prioritized to get an isolation room at the hospital because the availability of the room is fully occupied. We plan to add more isolation rooms in hospitals and other health facilities", said Herman.
