JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that his party plans to impose sanctions for visitors to restaurants, cafes, and other business places who violate health protocols.

Thus, later it will not only be the manager of the place of business who will be sanctioned when violating the health protocol but the visitor will also be sanctioned.

"In the future, this is one of the things to be discussed, which will be subject to sanctions, not only the manager but those who are there", said Anies, Wednesday, September 8.

The sanctions will be applied when the government has prepared its technology platform. Anies described that when entering a place, every visitor must scan a QR code like the PeduliLindung application.

Then, when the places they visit violate health protocols, they will be detected as violators too. Then, they will be blacklisted and not allowed to enter other places.

"Now the technology is being prepared. If you are in a place that has violated, before leaving you are scanned and then entered in the blacklist and can't go anywhere later. Wherever you go, you will be rejected because you are involved in committing violations", explained Anies.

Anies explained that the application of blacklist sanctions for visitors who are in places that violate the health protocol is expected to be a lesson and prevent other people from committing violations.

"So it's like this, if you see a place that violates it, you just go out. Instead of you being penalized at home later. Learn discipline, don't go out", he concluded.
