Central Java - Four access points to Borobudur Temple in Magelang Regency, Central Java were closed to limit community mobility during the implementation of the emergency community activity restrictions (PPKM).

Head of Traffic at the Magelang Police, AKP Faris Budiman in Magelang, Thursday, July 8, said the four points included the Kujon Intersection, Brojonalan Intersection, Borobudur Koramil Intersection, and the Tourism Police Post Intersection.

The closure is carried out with a barrier and a road closure sign that reads 'Sorry, the traffic flow has been diverted by Emergency PPKM'

AKP Faris Budiman said that the closure is on Monday to Friday from 14.00 to 06.00 WIB, while on Saturday and Sunday for 24 hours.

Faris said that the Magelang Police carried out the first isolation in Salam, which is directly adjacent to the Yogyakarta Special Region Province.

In addition, he continued, closing roads that are prone to causing crowds, one of which is going to the Borobudur Temple tourist attraction.

"It is the busiest in Borobudur because there are tourist attractions, especially in that area there are many places to sell food. Based on orders from our leadership, we have closed sections of the road at four points," he said as quoted by Antara.

He mentioned that one of the goals of the emergency PPKM was to limit people's mobility because the number of COVID-19 was high. Therefore, if there is no important business, it is better to stay at home.
