JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the DPR from the Golkar Party faction, Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena, supports the obligation of PCR tests for airplane passengers who will travel.

This view is different from members of Commission IX of the DPR from the PKS and PKB factions who reject the issuance of the Minister of Home Affairs Instruction (Inmendagri) 53/2021 regarding PPKM Levels 3, 2, and 1 in Java and Bali so that all airplane passengers are required to undergo a PCR test 2x24 hours before departure. .

"Regarding the Ministry of Home Affairs, we take the positive side. We witnessed for ourselves when we opened processes and activities in public spaces, it was unavoidable that the potential for transmission would occur anywhere, in public facilities, in schools or on land, sea or air transportation or elsewhere. ," said Melki during a press conference at the Golkar DPP Office, Slipi, Jakarta, Friday, October 22.
