MAJALENGKA - The COVID-19 Task Force for Majalengka Regency, West Java, fined three companies that violated the Emergency Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM). Violating companies were fined IDR 15 million for employing more than 50 percent of employees.

"There are three companies that were fined IDR 5 million each because they did not limit the number of workers entering", said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Majalengka Police, AKP Siswo DC Tarigan, quoted by Antara, Thursday, July 8.

AKP Siswo said that when checking several companies, it was still found that some business actors did not provide body temperature checkers and did not maintain their distance.

In addition, the three companies that were subject to fines also employed more than 50 percent of their employees, due to the special provisions for essential factories that allowed them to work a maximum of 50 percent.

"However, in reality, we found that the company did not impose an average limit of more than 50 percent of workers", he said.

According to AKP Siswo, the three companies were subject to sanctions against Article 21 I paragraph 2 of the West Java Provincial Regulation No. 5 of 2021 with a fine of IDR 5 million.

In addition to legal action, Majalengka Police personnel also gave appeals that were persuasive and humane but still firm and measured.

Meanwhile, the Head of Ops for Majalengka Police, Kompol Firman, said that checking activities at companies in Majalengka were carried out to ensure that regulations and public awareness had been implemented in an Emergency PPKM situation whose aim was to suppress COVID-19.

"We continue to monitor and check on business actors, factories, and offices that meet the essential, non-essential, and critical criteria", he said.
