The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Pol Argo Yuwono, said that the appeal was conveyed because the current number of Covid-19 continues to soar. With demonstrations, the potential for creating crowds will occur, which will further exacerbate the growth rate of the corona virus.
"We hope that there will be no crowds due to the high number of Covid-19 cases," said Argo when contacted on Friday (23/7/2021).
The two-star general said that during a situation like this, the submission of aspirations could be done online. "It can be done with an audience or it can be done in the form of an online FGD," said Argo.
He said the police would take strict action if these activities disrupt public order. "If it is done, disturbing public order, we will secure it," said Argo.
