PALANGKA RAYA - Palangka Raya Police, Central Kalimantan are hunting for people who put up banners containing provocative sentences related to not believing in COVID-19.

Palangka Raya Police Chief, Kombes Dwi Tunggal Jaladri, confirmed the discovery of several banners that read that he did not believe in the existence of a COVID-19 pandemic.

"We have taken down the banners and we will investigate who the public is who provoked the contents of the banners", he said, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 13.

In addition to taking down several banners with the handwriting of not believing that COVID-19 exists, the police are also looking for several witnesses who are suspected of knowing the banner's installer.

It is feared that the actions of the perpetrators who put up the banners would provoke many people to distrust the COVID-19 pandemic so that the efforts that have been made by the government so far in disciplining health protocols have been disrupted. In fact, at this time the condition of the spread of the virus is quite high.

"Hopefully the community will not be provoked by this so that efforts related to health protocols have been implemented", said the Head of the Resort Police. Now the banner has been removed by the police who are assisted by the Civil Service Police Unit.

Meanwhile, photos and videos related to the banner have already been circulating, causing various responses from the public. Some respond positively to this and some respond negatively to the banners displayed on Yos Sudarso Street, Palangka Raya.

The public is advised not to be provoked by these irresponsible people. The public is advised to increase vigilance and tighten the application of health protocols because the potential for transmission of COVID-19 is currently higher.
