JAKARTA - The National Police Traffic Corps has again added an isolation point during the Implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). In total, there are 1,038 blocking points from Lampung to Bali.

"Yes, it has increased to 1,038 points," said the National Police Chief of Traffic, Inspector General Istiono in his statement, Thursday, July 15.

Of that number, there are 40 new blocking points. The dozens of blocking points will start operating Friday, July 16.

In addition, Istiono also mentioned the reason for adding the barrier points is because the mobility of the community continues to increase. In this way, it is hoped that officers can monitor community mobility.

"The reason is that we can limit mobility more. Only essential and critical sectors are moving," said Istiono.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Ops for the Korlantas Polri, Kombes Rudi Antariksawan, said that the addition of isolation points was also to overcome community mobility during the Eid al-Adha 1442 H holiday. Because it is predicted that people will travel.

"There are 86 blocking locations on toll roads, 7 blocking locations at ports, and 945 blocking locations on non-toll roads," he said.
