In his remarks, the Governor of Riau said that the meeting was to discuss together about increasing the vaccine that must be done toward Riau people, especially Pekanbaru city. Because until now the confirmed cases in Riau Province is around 46% from Pekanbaru city, followed by Dumai city which is currently the government’s attention due to the addition of cases.
“The increase in cases in the city of Pekanbaru is due to the fact that Pekanbaru is a developing city and had opened facilities for activities including the community’s economic business which in the end there was an increase. Even yesterday, President Joko Widodo visited here and he questioned why the city of Dumai has a high number of cases in Riau province after Pekanbaru city. Therefore, the President hopes that the local government will break the chain of transmission of Covid-19 within two weeks and increase vaccination by targeting that within a week it will reach 50,000. Our target is in a week it could reach 50,000, which later on duty of the provincial government will be assisted by the hospital police including the army,” concluded the Governor of Riau.
Meanwhile the Riau’s Regional Police Chief also invited all Riau people to work together to always obey health protocols and reduce mobility / crowds.
“Riau’s Regional Police will continue to work together in improving the implementation of Justice Operation both mobile and stationary. In addition, I ask for the support of all parties including associations and religious leaders in Riau Province to help people get vaccinated immediately because vaccines will increase the body’s immunity to suppress the spread of Covid-19.” as concluded the Governor of Riau.
