GARUT - Garut Regent Rudy Gunawan asked the principal (principal) to consistently comply with health protocols such as mandatory wearing of masks and preventing crowds of students when they came home from school.

This affirmation was conveyed by Rudy following the findings of school students who were crowded together, not yet maximal in implementing health protocols (prokes). "We will reprimand school principals who do not comply with the prokes," he said in Garut, West Java, Antara, Thursday, August 19.

Rudy was worried that the crowd would actually trigger the transmission of the COVID-19 outbreak in the school environment. Currently, Garut Regency has a Level 3 Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) status.

This means that face-to-face teaching and learning activities in schools have been allowed since last Monday, August 16. With these findings, Rudy ensured that the school would evaluate the orderly so that there were no crowds.

"We are asked to do it in stages, we try it out, we already know it exists (the procedure is not yet in order) and we will fix it," said the Regent.

He conveyed that schools must be able to enforce procedures for succession of face-to-face learning, starting from arranging school entry and exit hours so that there are no crowds of students.

The activity of traders in the school environment, said the Regent, must be regulated, there should be no crowds of students for fear of contagion of COVID-19.

"So he has to care that those who go out and enter can't congregate, including traders there can't congregate," said the Regent.

The Garut Regency Government allows schools to meet face-to-face on the condition that they must comply with the prokes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conditions in the field of several schools that apply face-to-face learning, he said, observed crowds of students during school hours, one of which was a school in the urban area of Garut.

The presence of a crowd of students in the school environment was regretted by the parents, Hendi (49), a resident of Tarogong Kaler District, who saw students ignoring the prokes, namely keeping their distance and not crowding.

"I saw earlier in the city that many students gathered in front of the school gate, there should not be such a crowd," said Hendi.
