MAKASSAR - The issue of a ban on driving in Makassar City, South Sulawesi (South Sulawesi), must have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Makassar Mayor M Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) emphasized that the issue was a hoax.

"I want to straighten out the news about the rules that were reported by social media accounts in Makassar regarding the ban on driving if you haven't had the vaccine. I emphasize that I have never made that statement (don't ride a motorbike/car if you haven't been vaccinated),” said Danny Pomanto in Makassar, Monday, July 26.

“And there is no local regulation about it. I ask you not to question this anymore because it is a hoax," said Danny Pomanto.

Danny Pomanto asked all wisely to provide information to the public so as not to be confused by the current conditions.

Previously, the Makassar City Government, South Sulawesi, planned to distribute 100,000 packages of basic material assistance during PPKM level 4 to August 2, 2021. The assistance was intended for underprivileged communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We will distribute it immediately. The data for our underprivileged residents in Makassar from the Social Service is recorded at 66 thousand. Of course there will be many affected, for that we have prepared 100 thousand packages of basic materials," said Danny Pomanto

According to Danny Pomanto, Makassar City has been designated a COVID-19 red zone. In line with this, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto has also instructed Makassar to run PPKM Level 4. So that his party will continue to take serious efforts to handle the pandemic.

One of the quick steps taken by the City Government, he said, was to immediately distribute basic materials to affected communities according to data from the Social Service and continue to carry out patrols by the Raika (Crowd Breaker) Task Force team accompanied by health protocol education by the COVID-19 Detector Task Force team.

As for the technical distribution of the staples, said the man who is familiarly called Danny Pomanto, he will deploy Raika's team, distributing them to prevent crowds of people and break the chain of transmission.

"The distribution will be carried out by the Raika Task Force team together with the Detector Task Force to residential areas that have been recorded, as well as delivering education on health protocols and prevention of COVID-19 transmission," he explained.
