JAKARTA - The case of mass crowds and violations of the COVID-19 health protocol at Holywings Kemang, continues to roll out at the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Metro Jaya Regional Police.

Head of DKI Jakarta Satpol PP, Arifin, stated that sanctions for violating health protocols and mass crowds have been regulated in Regional Regulations. This is stated in Perda number 2 of 2020, its derivative is in Pergub number 3 of 2021.

"Everything has been regulated. Starting from written warning sanctions, dissolution sanctions, temporary suspension of activities, fines, temporary suspension of permits and even revocation of business licenses," he told VOI, Tuesday, September 7.

Arifin warned that if another violation occurred at Holywings Kemang, his party would not hesitate to take firm steps by closing the place of business.

"If he operates again (after being sealed) the further sanctions could be even more severe. If the permit freezes today, later his business license can be revoked," he said.

Arifin appealed to the managers of cafes, restaurants and so on in Jakarta to comply with existing regulations. Managers should not do irresponsible ways. For example, those violators actually know the rules and regulations during PPKM but they ignore them.

"They allow it, there is a deliberate factor. Allowing the violation to occur. This means being irresponsible. People who are not responsible must be subject to strict sanctions that deter, so that it does not happen again," he said.

As is known, currently the Polda Metro Jaya investigators are examining five witnesses in the case of violation of health protocols carried out by the Holywings Kemang cafe, South Jakarta. Of the five people examined, three of them were the management of the Holywings cafe.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus said the five people being examined were four of the management of Holywings cafe, one party outside.

"We have examined 5 people, including one witness. 4 from the management of Holywings, one witness (from outside) did the investigation," Yusri told reporters when confirmed separately, Tuesday, September 7.

According to Yusri, the examination was carried out to enforce the provisions of Law No. 4/1989 on infectious disease outbreaks. He said he would carry out legal proceedings against anyone who violates the health protocols regulated in PPKM Level 3 in a number of areas, including DKI Jakarta.

"We will not be selective, not only this, anyone who violates the health protocol during PPKM Level 3, we will process all of them," he said.

In this case of violation of health protocols, the police charged the alleged violators with Law 4 of 1984 concerning disease outbreaks with a threat of 1 year in prison.
