JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya said that no matter how many personnel are deployed at the isolation point in the Enforcement of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), it will have no effect. This is because public awareness to obey the rules is the main key to the success of Emergency PPKM. So we can't all be stubborn.
This statement responds to the fact that there are still people who are trying to break through the barriers that lead to debates and viral on social media. One of them occurred at the Kalimalang blockage point, East Jakarta.
"No matter how many thousands of officers are sent to the streets, if the people don't want to be orderly, they won't be able to. So to make this Emergency PPKM successful, there must also be awareness from the community," said the Director of Lantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Saturday, 3 July.
Sambodo also emphasized that the Emergency PPKM was a policy made by the government so that the number of positive cases of COVID-19, which was increasing at that time, could be suppressed. One of the factors causing the high transmission is due to the high mobility of the people. For the time being, people are asked to refrain from staying at home.
"Emergency PPKM must be different from usual days, Emergency PPKM must be able to reduce the movement of people if we want to reduce the sloping number of COVID-19," he said.
"But if this continues, how long will it take? Hospitals are getting more and more overwhelmed, funerals have more than 300 people dying every day, do you want to continue like this?" continued Sambodo.
Therefore, the public is asked to comply with existing policies. The purpose of Emergency PPKM is solely to make the community healthy. "Let's work together to make Emergency PPKM a success, because no matter how many officers are deployed, if people don't want to obey, there will be a thousand ways," said Sambodo.
