The policy of bringing 500 Chinese foreign workers into the middle of the Corona pandemic is the same as hurting people.

YAKARTA, KOMPASTV – The government’s plan to bring 500 foreign workers (TKAs) from China to work on national strategic projects is considered detrimental to the community.

The vice president of the House of Representatives Commission II, Arwani Thomafi, explained that the policy was equivalent to hurting the enthusiasm of the community in the fight against Covid-19 in the country.

According to him, despite the fact that the 500 Chinese TKAs had approved health procedures, the government still could not use them as an excuse in the midst of this pandemic.

Arwani also assessed that the health protocol for Chinese foreign workers did not guarantee the absence of spread of the coronavirus.

“The central government must not harm the mood of the Indonesian people in the fight against Covid-19,” Arwani said in a written statement on Friday (1/5/2020).

Furthermore, Arwani evaluates that the policy is contrary to Presidential Decree n. ° 12 of 2020 on the determination of the non-disastrous spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and the prohibition to come and go.
