MEDAN - The wedding party on Jalan Selamat Ujung, Medan City, North Sumatra was dispersed by the police. Not without reason, the event violated the rules for implementing community activity restrictions (PPKM) level 4 applied in the city.

"We together with the TNI apparatus and the COVID-19 Task Force were forced to disband this wedding reception because it violated the health protocol rules and PPKM level 4 rules," said Acting (Plt) Kapolsek Patumbak AKP Neneng, Saturday, September 4.

The dissolution was carried out in accordance with Medan Mayor Regulation Number 443.2/7229 No 2. In this regulation, wedding receptions, celebrations, and the like were temporarily suspended in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as PPKM level 4 rules in Medan City.

According to him, activities that invite many residents are considered dangerous. Because, it becomes a point of crowd that has a high risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus.

"For this reason, we are intensifying the PPKM level 4 operation to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the jurisdiction of the Patumbak Police," said Neneng.

In addition to disbanding the event, he said, his party also conducted a COVID-19 antigen test for all invited guests and the bride and groom. "The results of the antigen swab examination at the site did not show any exposure to COVID-19," explained Neneng.

He appealed to all the people of Medan City, especially in the jurisdiction of the Patumbak Police to continue to apply health protocols and obey PPKM level 4 rules.
