BANDUNG - The City Government (Pemkot) of Bandung, West Java, continues to apply odd-even blocking at five toll gates even though travel rules are relaxed by waiving the obligation for PCR and antigen tests.

Head of Transportation Control and Order (PDKT) of the Bandung City Transportation Service (Dishub) Asep Kuswara said the even-wage block would still apply in line with the policy of implementing restrictions on community activities (PPKM).

"There are still odd and even numbers for this week, there is no change at all," said Asep in Bandung, quoted by Antara, Friday, March 11.

According to him, there are five toll gates, namely Pasteur, Pasirkoja, Kopo, Muhammad Toha, and Buahbatu toll gates. Odd-even applies on weekends starting from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

On Friday, odd-even applies from 14.00 WIB to 20.00 WIB. However, on Saturday and Sunday, odd-even applies from 07.00 WIB to 20.00 WIB.

In addition to vehicles from Bandung Raya, other vehicles will be affected by odd-even. Later on, the vehicles that are turned over are vehicles from outside the city whose last digits of the number plate do not match the date on that day.

Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Ibrahim Tompo, said that odd-even in the West Java region still applies in some areas. Because, he said, odd-even was held based on the PPKM level rules set by the central government.

"There are still (odd-even) events, but it depends on the situation, so if for example like a weekend it is estimated that there are still crowds who are prone to the spread of COVID-19, then it will still be implemented," he said.

Previously, the COVID-19 Handling Task Force relaxed travel rules by removing the requirement for negative PCR and antigen test results for domestic travelers who had received a complete dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

These provisions are stated in the Circular Letter of the Head of the COVID-19 Task Force Number 11 of 2022 concerning Provisions for Travel of Domestic People during the COVID-19 Pandemic which was published as of March 8, 2022.
