MAKASSAR - Mayor of Makassar, South Sulawesi, Moh Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) asked entrepreneurs, especially entertainment venues and cafes, to implement strict health protocols even though the PPKM level has decreased.

"I hope we can all obey the prokes and I have asked the Satpol and other SKPDs to continue to carry out strict supervision of places of business, those who are negligent and repeated, there must be strict sanctions," said Danny Pomanto, quoted by Antara, Friday, October 29.

He said Makassar City is currently implementing PPKM Level II and he asked all staff to anticipate a possible spike in cases after Christmas and New Year's Day (Nataru).

Danny Pomanto hopes that there will be no further increase in PPKM status in the future if all parties are consistent with the implementation of health protocols and continue to improve vaccination achievements.

Meanwhile, regarding the findings from the Makassar Satpol PP regarding cafe and entertainment businesses that often violate the rules of the COVID-19 process, he also gave an order to take firm action against these places of business.

"If it can't be closed, just revoke the permit if someone violates it. This is already quite loose (rules), why do you have to violate it again," said Danny Pomanto.

Previously, the Satpol PP proposed sanctions in the form of revocation of business licenses for barcode cafes.

Their findings show that the cafe has violated health protocols three times.

"Because there have been more than three violations. The document (closure) is currently in process," said Danny Pomanto.
