JAKARTA - The government has decided to implement the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) on the islands of Java and Bali as an intervention measure to deal with COVID-19 in Indonesia.
The implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency PPKM is set for three weeks, from July 3 to 20. This policy will also be technically regulated in the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs.
The Minister of Home Affairs, M Tito Karnavian said that his party was finalizing the Instruction implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency PPKM.
Before being ratified, the Ministry of Home Affairs will carry out an alignment first by the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, as the Coordinator for the Implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency PPKM.
"This is finalization, we will convey it to the Coordinating Minister (Luhut, ed). If there is a correction we will fix it. God willing, today when it is finished we will share it with all regional heads", Tito said in a virtual press conference related to the implementation of Emergency PPKM, Thursday, July 1.
Tito appealed to all regional heads to build synergies with various elements of society, including the Regional leadership coordination forum in the realization of Emergency PPKM.

He asked governors in six provinces and 122 regents/mayors to synergize with the TNI-Police in the context of supervising the implementation of Emergency PPKM. Because he said, the government also applies sanctions if anyone violates the rules.
"The important thing is synergy. This controls a large number of people in Java-Bali. This is not an easy job. Build cohesiveness with Regional leadership coordination forum", said the former National Police Chief.
According to him, decisive steps such as the Emergency PPKM can suppress the surge in positive cases of COVID-19, which every day exceeds 20 thousand cases. If this is not done and supported by all elements of society, then the pandemic condition will continue to have an impact on the condition of the national economy.
For this reason, Tito asked all parties, including the Indonesian people in Java and Bali, to comply with the regulations for implementing the Emergency PPKM announced by the government.
"It's better for us to be sick for 3 weeks than slow for 3 weeks, while the case is getting higher. So these 3 weeks should take firm steps with the collaboration of Regional leadership coordination forum and field checks", said Tito Karnavian.
