Traditional Markets, Malls, And Offices Are Strictly Monitored During PPKM Level 3

JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta City Government has begun to tighten a number of crowded places since PPKM Level 3 was implemented. The places targeted for surveillance are malls, traditional markets belonging to Pasar Jaya and offices.

The Assistant for Economics and Development (Asekbang) of the Central Jakarta City Government, Bakwan Ferizan Ginting, said that if a violation was found later, the building manager would receive strict sanctions.

"If there are sanctions, there will be certain sanctions. Later, the UKPD will provide the rules regarding the type of violation, offices, restaurants and malls," said Bakwan when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, February 9.

Bakwan said that the crowds that would be investigated would be monitored for health protocols (prokes). Such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, separate access in and out, providing hand washing facilities, scanning PeduliLindung barcodes to thermoguns.

Previously, the Central Jakarta City Government carried out unannounced inspections (sidak) to a number of malls in the Tanah Abang and Menteng areas on Tuesday, February 8, yesterday.

This inspection was carried out to ascertain whether the mall managers had implemented the PPKM Level 3 regulations.

This step is to find out whether the manager has complied with the PPKM Level 3 rules.

"(yesterday) we checked a number of malls such as Thamrin City, Plaza Senayan, all of which have followed PPKM Level 3 rules," he said.

Inspections were also carried out at the cinema in one of the malls. No violations were found during inspections at the cinema. In fact, the number of cinema visitors is far from before the implementation of PPKM level 3.

"When PPKM level 3 was implemented, the number of spectators who attended fell by 70 percent," he said.
