Officials have admitted that the majority of Klungkung Traditional Market visitors are still unwilling to utilize the PeduliLindungi tracing app before entering the market area.

The Head of the Technical Unit from Klungkung Traditional Market, I Komang Sugianta confirmed that the implementation of the PeduliLindungi tracing app as an entry requirement for the Klungkung Market is still far from his expectations. “The majority of the market’s visitors are still reluctant to scan the QR code using their PeduliLindungi tracing app before entering the market,” Sugianta said on Thursday (4/11).

He explained that despite installing the QR codes on several market entrances, most visitors still decide to ignore them and enter the market without utilizing the tracing app. However, Sugianta admitted that he has been struggling to supervise the implementation of this policy due to a lack of human resources, as there are no officers who constantly monitor the market areas.

Nevertheless, Sugianta ensured that both the visitors and all of the market vendors have been complying with the prevention protocols since the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020, despite their reluctance to utilize the tracing app. “We’ve been reminding the community to always wear their face masks and keep a safe distance between each other to prevent virus transmission,” Sugianta concluded.
