The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Police has added personnel in the field to limit community mobility. The number of officers has been doubled at a number of blocking points, especially on toll roads.

With the addition of personnel and a number of isolation points, it is hoped that community mobility can be controlled. What is allowed to pass for them is in essential and critical sectors.
While outside the sector, they can be detained or postponed in advance.
