Gresik residents made to dig graves as punishment
for not wearing face masks

Eight people in Gresik regency, East Java, were ordered
by local authorities to dig graves for
those who have died of COVID-19 as punishment for not
wearing face masks in public. Cerme
district head, Suyono, said that he punished residents
who did not wear face masks by making
them dig graves at a public cemetery in Ngabetan village.

“There are only three available gravediggers at the
moment, so I thought I might as well put
these people to work with them,” said Suyono as quoted
by tribunnews.com on Wednesday,
adding that local authorities made sure the health
protocol violators did not participate in the
burials. To assist the gravediggers, Suyono assigned two
people to each grave. One is tasked
with digging the grave, while the other lays wooden
boards inside the hole to support the
corpse. “Hopefully this can create a deterrent effect
against violations,” Suyono said.

He also said the number of COVID-19 cases was
continuing to increase in Cerme, prompting
the village administration to strengthen protocols in the
village. Based on the Regent Law No.
22/2020, residents who violate the protocols are subject
to fines or community service as
punishment. Separately, Cerme Police chief Adj. Pol.
Comm. Moh. Nur Amin said the police
would cooperate with the military to enforce the
protocols, such as by dispersing public
gatherings. “We urge the public to wear face masks in
accordance with the COVID-19 health
protocols,” he said. (dpk)
