JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Laoly said the various policies to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic carried out by the government, including the implementation of PPKM, were not to curb the community, but for mutual safety.

"We must understand that we must fully support the government regulations regarding PPKM," he said while giving a speech at the Kumham Peduli social assistance activity, Kumham Sharing in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, July 29.

This is because the PPKM policy is a joint effort to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19, which is still spreading until now.

Although the policy has a broad impact on the community, especially in meeting daily needs, it must still be done so that the pandemic can be ended immediately.

To reduce the burden on people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially since the PPKM policy was continued by the government until August 2, the government has made various efforts to provide social assistance.

For example, the provision of medicines, subsidies for micro, small and medium enterprises, cash social assistance and so on continues to be carried out.

"In this context, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights wants to give some of what it has to the community through donations from employees," said Yasonna. The provision of social assistance called Kumham Peduli, Kumham sharing is a form of solidarity with communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this activity, Yasonna symbolically handed over social funds to seven Regional Offices of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Java and Bali. Seven Regional Offices receiving social funds are DKI Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Central Java, East Java and Bali.
