JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government has changed the rules for the tourism business sector in the micro PPKM for the period from June 22 to July 5, 2021.

This is stated in the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Agency Number 419 of 2021. One of the rules is to require bar businesses that sell alcoholic beverages to close their operations.

"Operational activities of drinking houses or bars serving alcoholic beverages must be closed," wrote Plt. DKI Kadisparekraf Gumilar Ekalaya in a decree, quoted on Wednesday, June 23.

In addition, all food and beverage businesses are prohibited from selling shisha services. However, this place of business is still allowed to serve take away or delivery service for 24 hours.

Meanwhile, restaurant, cafe and restaurant business activities can operate by serving meals on the spot or dine-in until 20.00 WIB. Its capacity is limited to a maximum of 25 percent.

In addition, the DKI Provincial Government has again banned food businesses from holding live music. "The organization of live music cannot be operational," he continued.

Previously, the DKI Provincial Government once again allowed live music in restaurants, restaurants and bars in Jakarta.

However, in his decision, Plt. The head of DKI Disparekraf, Gumilar Ekalaya, stated the conditions that must be met if a business place wants to hold live music. One of them is that visitors are prohibited from contributing songs.

"The organization of live music which is a restaurant and hotel business facility can operate with the condition that visitors are prohibited from contributing songs," said Gumilar.

Not only that, restaurants or hotels that want to hold live music must have a tourism business registration sign (TDUP).

Then, the number of personnel is adjusted to the size of the stage so that everyone can keep their distance and not crowd each other. “Next, install a partition/flexglass divider on the stage area,” wrote Gumilar.
