BITUNG - Bitung Mayor Maurits Mantiri issued a ban on assignments outside the region for all state civil servants (ASN) within the local municipal government, in order to anticipate a surge in cases of COVID-19, the Omicron variant in the region.

"This ban is for the common good and to break the chain of the spread of the corona virus," he said in Bitung, North Sulawesi Province, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, February 15.

He said COVID-19 cases in the area had begun to increase recently, with sufferers mostly due to traveling outside the area.

This provision is contained in Circular Number: 008/140/SEK concerning the Prohibition of Traveling Out of the Region to the Bitung City Government. Previously, the Governor of North Sulawesi, Olly Dondokambey, had also issued a ban on overseas assignments for ASN.

"So referring to the governor's circular, the Bitung City Government has also issued a circular for all ranks not to carry out tasks outside the region," he said.

He urged the people of Bitung City to immediately undergo a complete vaccination.

"And don't forget to obey the COVID-19 health protocol," he said.
