PPKM Level 3, Here's the Preparation of Terminals, Stations, and Airports in the City of Bandung
The city of Bandung is currently implementing the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) Level 3. A number of departure and reception centers for outgoing and incoming guests from the terminal, train station and airport have also made adjustments.
Bandung Public Relations visited three points where people enter and leave the city of Bandung. First at Leuwipanjang Terminal.
Since PPKM level 3 was implemented, a number of adjustments have been made, starting from tightening health protocols while in the terminal area. Every 10 to 30 minutes, the officer will remind prospective passengers or anyone who is doing activities at the Leuwipanjang Bus Terminal to wear a mask.
In addition, prospective bus passengers must first go through a scan of the PeduliLindung application to ensure their vaccination status.
"Bus passengers are required to comply with health protocols. We also routinely go around and carry masks. If there are prospective passengers who don't wear masks on the grounds that they don't bring them, we will give them the masks," said Leuwipanjang Type A Terminal Service Unit Coordinator, Asep Hidayat, Thursday, February 10. 2022.
He admitted that he had appealed to bus service providers (PO) to provide health protocol tools such as masks and hand sanitizers for prospective passengers who were about to depart.
He also appealed to prospective passengers who will travel to have received the first and second doses of the vaccine.
"In addition, you must wear a mask, keep your distance and don't talk on the bus. Reprimand the driver and conductor if you don't wear a mask," he ordered.
Airports and Stations Tighten Prokes
In addition to the bus terminal, Husein Sastranegara Airport and Bandung Station, which are also centers of people coming and going from Bandung, are preparing to welcome PPKM level 3.
Husein Sastranegara Airport is ready to face PPKM level 3 which is now applicable in Java - Bali, including in the city of Bandung. Previously, the Executive General Manager of Husein Sastranegara Airport, Cin Asmoro conveyed this.
"We are referring to SE 22 of 2021 and SE of the Ministry No. 96 of 2021. So we are still implementing the requirements for travel using air transportation to prevent Covid-19," explained Cin.
The airport's readiness can be seen from the availability of scanners for prospective passengers. This scanner ensures that passengers who will fly have received a second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The airport also ensures that seats around the airport are 1.5 meters apart. In addition, the airport has also opened Covid-19 rapid test and PCR services.
Cin advised that if you want to travel by air, make sure you are ready for requirements such as vaccination and include a negative rapid antigen test result if you have received the second dose of vaccine.
