Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan (DOK VIA ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menkomarves) alluded to the violation of health protocols that occurred at a Jakarta cafe a few days ago, namely Holywings in Kemang, South Jakarta.

Luhut considers cases of violating health protocols like this to be avoided. He conveyed this during the announcement of the virtual extension of the Java-Bali PPKM.

"This is something that we must avoid. As happened a few days ago in a restaurant/cafe in the Jakarta area that did not comply with health protocols, so that in the end it had to be closed for the next three days," said Luhut, Monday, September 6. .

Luhut admitted that Jakarta is currently experiencing a decline in COVID-19 cases. However, the condition of improving the handling of the pandemic in the capital does not mean that it is an impetus to celebrate. This is because it can increase the number of cases of COVID-19.

"What we have achieved together today, of course, is not a form of euphoria that should be celebrated. The slightest negligence that we do will end up causing an increase in cases in the next few weeks," said Luhut.

Not only the Holywings crowd, Luhut said the government had also found many violations of health protocols in other activities during the past week.

"The government will take persuasive steps in enforcing these regulations before taking firm steps if persuasive efforts are ignored," he said.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Satpol PP temporarily sealed the Holywings Kemang cafe for violating health protocols during the Level 3 PPKM period.

The breach occurred on Saturday, September 4 evening. The sanction given is in the form of temporary closure of the place of business for 3x24 hours since Sunday, September 5.

"Sanctions of Temporary Closure 3x24 hours were imposed by DKI Jakarta Satpol PP officers on Sunday, September 5 after it was found that there was a violation of PPKM level 3 provisions," wrote the satpolpp.dki Instagram account.

Holywings Kemang had previously violated health protocol rules during the pandemic 2 times. If Holywings Kemang violates it again, the DKI Provincial Government will freeze its business license.
