Jakarta, along with some other cities, has reopened some of its public parks, museums and zoo to its residents as the capital city has been relaxed into level 2 of the government’s multitiered public activity restrictions (PPKM).
The Jakarta administration reopened 59 city parks in all five mayoralties in Jakarta, as well as Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta, starting on Oct. 23 at reduced capacity, marking the first time that such public facilities have been allowed to welcome visitors since the government closed them during the Delta variant-fueled second wave in the country that peaked in July.
Cultural venues, such as the National Gallery in Central Jakarta, also began to welcome visitors in a limited capacity. Visitors are required to book their visit a day before, while their visit will also be limited to under an hour, antaranews.com reported.
Ragunan Zoo now welcomes visitors of all ages, with a limited daily capacity of around 15,000 people, or 25 percent of its maximum capacity. Currently, the zoo is open only to Jakarta residents, who are required to purchase online tickets before their visit and also apply health protocols, such as wearing a mask and maintaining physical distance.
Visitors are also required to check in using the PeduliLindungi app when they visit the zoo. Children under 12 are also allowed to visit the zoo along with their parents.
