egions across the archipelago are gearing to welcome tourists for a long weekend at the end of the month while keeping the coronavirus at bay.
Thanks to public holidays, many people will have five days off, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, and not all will stay at home.
Safety measures in crowd-drawing activities are deemed essential to avoid another surge in COVID-19 cases, as new virus clusters commonly appear after public holidays.
Bogor Regent Ade Yasin said the regency limited the number of people at tourist destinations to 50 percent of the respective site’s capacity.
“We need to closely monitor the implementation of the capacity restriction, which is set at 50 percent,” Ade said on Saturday as quoted by antaranews.com.
According to a Bogor regency decree, the regency allows natural and non-natural tourist destinations to operate with certain limitations, including in the number of guests, during the pandemic.
The decree also limits operational hours for non-natural and/or outdoor tourist destinations to between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., and caps the number of participants in crowdpullers, receptions or meetings at a maximum of 150 people.
