Medical officers conduct a rapid antigen test for drivers from Madura Island at the exit of the Suramadu Bridge, Surabaya, East Java, Monday (7/6/2021). Blocking and checking for motorists from Madura Island to Surabaya has been intensified again due to the increasing number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Bangkalan Regency.

However, unfortunately, some state administrators are not matching words and actions.
