JAKARTA - Circulating on social media invites the public to take to the streets to hold demonstrations. The invitation was also called the aftermath of public unrest over the current condition.
In response to the invitation, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, asked the public to refrain from doing so. Because the current COVID-19 pandemic is still out of control
"We hope not to do crowds because of the situation where the number of COVID-19 is still high," Argo told reporters, Friday, July 23.
In fact, Argo emphasized that his party would act decisively if the masses continued to take to the streets to hold demonstrations. This is done for the sake of order and the safety of the entire community.
"If it is done to disturb public order, we will secure it," said Argo.
