SAMPANG - The Sampang Regency Government, East Java requires visitors to tourist attractions in the area to have undergone COVID-19 vaccination or show a certificate of having been vaccinated through the "PeludiLindungi" application.

The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of the Pamekasan Regency Government, Yuliadi Setiawan, said that the step was taken as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, as well as to expand the scope of the COVID-19 vaccination.

"Every visitor, anyone, must be able to show a vaccine certificate, and we have conveyed this provision to each tourist attraction manager and tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis) in Sampang Regency," he said, quoted by Antara, Monday, October 11.

According to Yuliadi, currently Sampang Regency is in the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) level 3 because vaccination coverage in this area is still low.

"Actually, the spread of COVID-19 in Sampang has decreased, but because vaccination coverage is still low, Sampang has entered level 3," he said.

Therefore, continued Yuliadi, visitors to tourist attractions in Sampang Regency must pay attention to health protocols (prokes) to suppress the transmission of COVID-19. One of them is required to show a letter or certificate of COVID-19 vaccine.

In addition to tourist attractions, which also require visitors to show a COVID-19 vaccine certificate are restaurants.

The district government also asked the managers to prepare the Code PeduliLindung Quick Response (QR) application.

"So, we implement all of this in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and expand vaccination coverage. We want Sampang to be free from this pandemic immediately," continued Yuliadi.
