He hopes that patrols and strict action against prokes violators can provide a deterrent effect. "So that there is a deterrent effect for those who violate the prokes," said Rudy.

Law enforcement officials are also asked to take concrete steps in an effort to increase community compliance in implementing the health program in the midst of the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

In addition to firm action, he said, the regional government is also making efforts to prevent and deal with everyone exposed to COVID-19 to obtain optimal medical services.
