Tourist sites across Jakarta are set to reopen gradually starting June 13.
According to Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency head Cucu Ahmad Kurnia on Tuesday, the move was part of the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) transition into the "new normal era" implemented by Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.
Based on the agency's circular, museums and galleries across the capital have been allowed to operate since June 8 as reported by tempo.co.
Beach destinations such as Thousand Islands in North Jakarta can also open up on June 13.
All outdoor and indoor tourism parks, including zoos but excluding waterparks, are allowed to welcome visitors beginning June 20.
Businesses under the agency's management, such as indoor and outdoor sport facilities, excluding swimming pools, have been allowed to operate since June 5.
Meanwhile, food businesses provided by hotels, excluding bars, have been open since June 8, however dine-in services are still banned.
According to the new policy, all places are required to follow health protocols and limit their number of visitors to 50 percent of normal capacity. (kes)
