YOGYAKARTA - Yogyakarta City Hall Complex has been officially designated as a mandatory area for masks and mandatory vaccines. Residents who come to the local government bureaucratic complex must have undergone a COVID-19 vaccination.

"Hopefully, all activities at the Yogyakarta City Hall can be carried out more safely because anyone who enters the city hall has been vaccinated, which means they have better immunity," said Yogyakarta Deputy Mayor Heroe Poerwadi in Yogyakarta, quoted by Antara, Thursday, September 2.

Even though it is designated as a mandatory vaccine area, it does not mean that people who have not been vaccinated cannot access public services at the Yogyakarta City Hall.

The Yogyakarta City Government will screen visitors at the entrance and if interested guests at the Yogyakarta City Hall have not been vaccinated, they will be directed to the vaccination location at the City Hall.

Guests who have not been vaccinated can go to the vaccination location prepared near the Prince Diponegoro Mosque to undergo the vaccination directly.

Meanwhile, guests who come and have been vaccinated will be given a bracelet as a sign that they have been vaccinated.

Vaccines prepared to accommodate guests or visitors to Yogyakarta City Hall who have not vaccinated 100 doses per day.

“I don't think this policy is a hassle or an obstacle for visitors to access public services. Instead, this policy encourages residents to immediately access vaccinations," he said.

Until now, the Yogyakarta City Government has vaccinated around 430,000 residents but only 45 percent of them are residents with Yogyakarta City ID cards.

Meanwhile, one of the guests of Yogyakarta City Hall who underwent vaccination, Sri Lestari said she was very grateful because she could get vaccinated easily.

The Kulon Progo resident comes to Yogyakarta City Hall every day to deliver catering orders.

“Actually, we have received a vaccination schedule in Kulon Progo for September 13. But coincidentally today there is a mandatory vaccination for visitors, so I was directed to vaccinate first. Yes, I'm grateful that I can get the vaccine sooner," he said.
