Head of the Department of Transportation Papua, Recky D. Ambrauw ensures there is no close plan for airports and ports, although the transmission of Covid-19 still increases significantly in Papua.

So he ensured the news or the closure of the airport and port as it develops in the community is hoax.

"There is no plan for airport or port closure. They are still based on the letter or the last policy issued by the local government."

"Circular letter number 440/10242/SET and 550/10243/SET stated there was no closure of the airport and port. So if there is a word stating the provincial government will close the airport and the port is not true, "said Recky in Jayapura, Wednesday.

He added, regarding the policy of handling Covid-19, the evaluation and determination of new decisions related to it will be discussed before July 31 2020.

Unknown, the provincial government of Papua through the Deputy Governor, Klemen Tinal ensures that the flight activities in the region are still based on the governor's circular letter No. 440/10242/SET dated July 3, 2020 concerning the prevention, control and Countermeasures of COVID-19 which occurred since 4 until 31 July 2020.

"It means that as long as there is no new agreement, the old program policy will continue," he concluded.
