JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan appealed to the people of the capital not to manipulate COVID-19 vaccine certificates because there will be strict sanctions from the authorities.

"Yes, this is not a humanitarian issue and it is easier to get a vaccine than to manipulate a vaccine letter," said Governor Anies when reviewing the third dose vaccination service at Fatmawati Hospital, South Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Saturday, September 4.

According to him, the current COVID-19 vaccination is very easy to obtain without having to spend money to other parties to get a vaccine certificate.

"Coming to a vaccine anywhere is free and easy," he said.

He also invited the public not to illegally apply for vaccine documents because the government has provided vaccination services that are open at any time without having to spend money.

"Usually taking care of it is because it's a hassle, this vaccine is easy. Why take care of strange letters," said the former Minister of Education and Culture.

Previously, the Polda Metro Jaya arrested two suspected forgers and sellers of fake COVID-19 vaccination certificates connected to the carelindungi.id application, namely the initials HH (30) and FH (23), through social media accounts.

"The modus operandi is that the alleged perpetrator has access to population data. The perpetrator has access to P-Care, then cooperates with his colleagues to sell it to the public," said the Metro Jaya Police Chief, Inspector General of Police Fadil Imran, at the Metro Jaya Police, Jakarta, Friday. .

Fadil revealed that the case of selling fake vaccination certificates was revealed after officers found a Facebook social media account in the name of Tri Putra Heru, which offers services for making vaccination certificates without injecting vaccines, but integrated with the carelindungi.id application.

"When communication was made to the Facebook account, it was found out that the account sold vaccine certificates without vaccination and could be connected to the careprotect.id account with the price of a vaccine certificate of Rp. 320,000," said Fadil.
