JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Police has added blocking points during the implementation of the emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) throughout Java and Bali. The total blockage reached 651 points.

"The number is 651 (dots), and this continues to be dynamic (additions)," said Head of the Ops Division of the National Police Korlantas Kombes Rudy Antariksawan in an online discussion, Wednesday, July 7.

Previously, it was recorded that there were 407 isolation points throughout Java and Bali. The addition of the blocking point depends on the results of the evaluation carried out every day.

"Continue to evaluate every day the ranks and regions," said Rudy.

The addition of isolation points, continued Rudy, is outside urban areas. Because, if it only focuses on border areas, it will have an impact on accumulation at the isolation point.

"If it is closed only in urban areas, from the upstream it is not prevented, it is the same (ineffective)," he said.

Meanwhile, based on the evaluation results, the insulation scheme applied is considered to be quite effective. This is because the number of vehicles at the blocking point is decreasing.

"We can say that mobility has decreased by 50 to 60 percent from usual days," said Rudy.
