JAKARTA – The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo gave the latest briefing via vicon, to all Polda ranks related to the evaluation of the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), Tuesday (12/10). The National Police Chief asked the ranks to be alert to the growth of COVID-19 even though the current condition is quite under control.
In his briefing, the National Police Chief emphasized to all his staff to continue to prepare all efforts and anticipations to prevent a spike in the growth rate of Covid-19, in the midst of an easing of community activities. It is known, the daily active cases of the corona virus today, have decreased.
“Prepare anticipatory steps towards easing so that there will not be a spike in cases again,” said the National Police Chief when giving a briefing to all Polda ranks.
According to the National Police Chief, one of the efforts to prevent the growth rate of Covid-19 and prepare for the transition from Pandemic to Endemic, is to continue to tighten health protocols (prokes), through 3M (wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining distance), strengthening 3T ( Tracing, Testing and Treatment) and acceleration of vaccination.
In anticipating a spike in the midst of easing community activities, the National Police Chief asked all Polda ranks to maximize the PeduliLindung application. The platform must be provided in all lines of citizen activity centers. Thus, the acceleration of community vaccination can be maximized.
“Maximize the use of the PeduliLindung application. Supervision of the community by using the PeduliLindung application. If a yellow or red category is found, provide vaccine services by providing vaccination booths and mobile vaccines,” said the former Police Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit.
Furthermore, the National Police Chief also stated the need for early anticipation to prevent the entry of new variants of Covid-19 such as MU and Lamda from abroad caused by Foreign Travel Actors (PPLN).
Regarding the government’s policy of planning to open the door for foreign tourists and Indonesian citizens returning from abroad, the National Police Chief hopes that there will be extra tight anticipation and supervision of the handling of Covid-19. The National Police Chief said that there were still some problems with the technical management of quarantine.
“Please check again what the security system is like, especially if the SOP has been opened, it is actually being implemented. Let us not then ignore, be careless and what we have been doing all this time in vain. So this is a consequence of the leniency that we give gradually but we can measure it so that everything can be controlled,” said the National Police Chief.
Anticipation and proper handling, said the National Police Chief, was also to prepare for an international event in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), namely the holding of the World Super Bike Championships (WSBK).
According to the National Police Chief, with the maximum handling and control of Covid-19, the holding of the world event will have a positive effect on economic growth. And, the name of Indonesia will be fragrant in the eyes of the world, because it has succeeded in organizing WSBK, taking into account health factors in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
“NTB and several follow-up events in Bali were well prepared. If this can be managed properly, of course in the eyes of the international community it will be better and of course other things such as economic growth, “said the National Police Chief.
Not only that, the National Police Chief also appreciated all ranks who have worked hard to prevent the growth rate of the corona virus. In the future, he hopes to maintain this and asks for continued synergy with the TNI, local government and all elements of society.
“What happened was the result of the hard work of all members. Now the focus is on us TNI-Polri. But I’m sure all colleagues will carry out well, “concluded the National Police Chief.
