BANDARLAMPUNG - Mayor of Bandarlampung, Eva Dwiana, emphasized that as long as the Level 3 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) were implemented, wedding receptions were not allowed in advance, in order to anticipate the spread of COVID-19.

"I ask those who want to get married not to hold a reception first, just at the KUA first," said the Mayor of Bandarlampung, Eva Dwiana in Bandarlampung, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, February 15.

However, he continued, people who have already spread out wedding invitations are still allowed to hold a reception but will be closely monitored by the COVID-19 Task Force.

"Once again, we don't want to hinder the community, but the government wants everyone to be healthy, because if we have entered level 3, and if it is level 4 we can't do anything," he said.

Therefore, he continued, he also appealed to the public to tighten health protocols (prokes), because cases in Bandar Lampung were increasing.

"To anticipate the spread of COVID-19, we have also reactivated isolation posts at five border points," he said.

He also emphasized that he would tighten it by conducting night patrols with Forkopimda to check progress at cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues.

"I have ordered that those who violate the rules will be closed because we have given warnings many times. So I ask that the process be maintained if Bandar Lampung is level 3 and level 4 we can't do anything," he added.

Based on the Lampung Governor's Instruction Number 5 of 2022, following up on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 11 of 2022, concerning PPKM levels 1,2 and 3 and optimizing the COVID-19 handling post at the village or sub-district level to control the spread of COVID-19, establishing Bandarlampung City enter into PPKM level 3.
