Disbudpar Batam- Seluruh pusat perbelanjaan (mal) di Kota Batam bersiap menerapkan QR Code PeduliLindungi, salah satunya Mega Mall, Batam Center. Kepala Dinas Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata (Disbudpar) Kota Batam, Ardiwinata meninjau langsung kesiapan pusat perbelanjaan, Kamis (23/9/2021).
Ardi menyampaikan kegiatan pusat perbelanjaan diizinkan beroperasi 50 persen mulai dari pukul 10.00-21.00 dengan aplikasi PeduliLindungi dan protokol kesehatan secara lebih ketat. Hal ini tertuang dalam Surat Edaran (SE) Walikota Batam Nomor 53 Tahun 2021.
“Kita ingin memastikan apakah mal sudah mempersiapkannya (QR Code PeduliLindungi),” katanya.
Terdapat empat warna yang menunjukkan status dalam aplikasi PeduliLindungi saat melakukan scan QR code di pintu masuk. Warna hijau menunjukkan bahwa orang tersebut telah mendapatkan dua dosis vaksin. Warna kuning mendapatkan satu dosis vaksin. Warna merah belum mendapatkan vaksin, tetapi masih dapat masuk dengan menunjukkan bukti surat keterangan dari pihak rumah sakit. Dan warna hitam berarti masih dalam status terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19.
Meskipun nanti aplikasi PeduliLindungi diterapkan, Ardi meminta untuk tetap melaksanakan protokol kesehatan dengan ketat, seperti pengecekan suhu tubuh dan menyediakan hand santizer bagi pengunjung yang hendak memasuki pusat perbelanjaan.
“Semoga Covid-19 tidak ada lagi di Kota Batam,” ucapnya.
Ardi berharap beroperasinya pusat perbelanjaan ini membuat pariwisata di Kota Batam bergairah kembali dan dapat memulihkan ekonomi. Pusat perbelanjaan sudah mulai menggelar event yang menarik untuk pengunjungnya, seperti bazar kuliner, pameran Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM) Batam yang berpusat di atrium mall.
“Mal merupakan tempat wisata belanja, kita harus bekerjasama memulihkan ekonomi,” sebutnya.
All Batam Shopping Centers Are Ready to Apply PeduliLindungi
Culture and Tourism Department of Batam City- All shopping centers (malls) in Batam City are preparing to implement the QR Code PeduliLindungi, one of them is Mega Mall, Batam Center. The Head of Batam City Culture and Tourism Department, Ardiwinata, directly inspected the readiness of the shopping center, Thursday (23/9/2021).

“We want to make sure the mall has prepared it (PeduliLindungi QR Code),” he said.
There are four colors that indicate the status in the PeduliLindung application when scanning the QR code at the entrance. The green color indicates that the person has received two doses of the vaccine. Yellow color gets one dose of vaccine. The red color has not received the vaccine, but can still enter by showing proof of a certificate from the hospital. And the black color means that the status is still confirmed positive for Covid-19.

“Hopefully Covid-19 will no longer be in Batam City,” he said.
Ardi hopes that the operation of this shopping center will make tourism in Batam City excited again and can restore the economy. Shopping centers have started to hold interesting events for their visitors, such as culinary bazaars, and Batam Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises exhibitions centered in the mall atrium.
“Malls are shopping places, we must work together to restore the economy,” he siad.
