JAKARTA - The government is currently discussing tightening the mobility of residents during the Eid holidays. Including the possibility of imposing sanctions for those who insist on going home to their hometowns.
This is done because the government has strictly prohibited the implementation of going home during the Eid holidays and is regulated in Circular Number 12 of 2021 concerning Provisions for Domestic Travel during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
"Requirements are strictly regulated for those who will travel within the country using various modes of transportation. For the implementation of the prohibition sanctions for those who violate the homecoming ban, the government will determine it and implement it by the local government, "said Wiku Adisasmito, spokesman for the COVID-19 Task Force (Task Force) in a press conference broadcast on the YouTube account of the Presidential Secretariat, Tuesday, March 30. .
"The technical details of controlling mobility during the Ramadan and Idul Fitri holidays are currently being discussed between ministries and institutions," he added.
Wiku also explained the application of GeNose in the circular. He said, testing using the wind method, which is cheaper and easier, is indeed an option for travelers.
To adjust to the policy of prohibiting homecoming, the government will consider this in determining the operational technicalities of prohibiting homecoming. This was done in order to avoid a spike in cases during the upcoming Eid holidays.
"Considering the consequences of the easy prerequisite for access to travel using Genose and the ban on going home, the operational technical policy for banning homecoming will be established by considering this to avoid a spike in cases during the Eid period," explained Wiku.
"Therefore, please wait for the release of rummy related to the policy. However, in principle, every policy is prepared with various considerations including technical implementation in the field and experts in the field, "he concluded.
