Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Jakarta administration has temporarily shut down the worksites of 34 companies for violating large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in the capital as of Tuesday, the 12th day of PSBB implementation.
"The 34 companies will be closed until the PSBB ends on April 23, 2020," said head of the Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Office, Andri Yansah.
Under Article 10 of the Jakarta Governor's Regulation No. 33/2020, only companies or business sites engaged in 11 sectors have been allowed to operate during the PSBB period.
The 11 sectors include health, foodstuff/food/drink, energy, communication and information technology, finance, logistics, hotel, construction, strategic industries, basic services, and public utilities, as well as industries designated as vital national objects, and firms manufacturing certain products as well as those producing items of daily need.
Of the 34 companies that have been shut down, nine are located in Central Jakarta, 14 in West Jakarta, four in North Jakarta, six in South Jakarta, and one in East Jakarta.
In addition, the Jakarta administration has also issued warnings to 44 business undertakings, engaged in sectors other than the 11 sectors set forth in the regulation, who have secured a permit from the Industry Ministry.
"We leave the companies to the Industry Ministry to impose sanctions on," Yansah said.
The office has also issued warnings to 203 exceptional business sites that failed to implement health protocols set forth in the gubernatorial regulation.
