TANGERANG, KOMPAS.comNational Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo urged the operator of Soekarno-Hatta Airport near Jakarta to increase its control policies of all arrivals amid the pandemic.

“Here at the airport, there are two main tasks that we need to pay attention to. First, how do we closely monitor the arrival of foreigners and Indonesian citizens from abroad,” said Listyo during his visit to Soekarno-Hatta Airport on Wednesday, May 12.

Listyo said that there is a need to ask inbound passengers to undergo another coronavirus PCR test upon arrival at the airport even though they have already presented a negative coronavirus PCR test from the country of origin.

The second main task, he said, relevant officers must impose strict health protocols discipline on inbound and outbound passengers.

“In areas of entry point, such as at the airport, we must implement stricter health protocols,” he said, adding that the nearby sub precinct police can request support from the Jakarta Police.
