JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has allowed a trial to open as many as 62 family karaoke places with a maximum visitor capacity of 25 percent during the PPKM Level One period, starting Friday today.

"We have tested the feasibility," said Head of the Section for Supervision of Entertainment and Recreation for the Tourism Industry of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, Iffan Radja, in Jakarta, Friday, November 5.

He explained that the feasibility test was carried out through verification of the readiness of business actors in implementing aspects that guarantee health protocols together with a number of other agencies.

"We are verifying with BPBD, Satpol PP, and the Health Office, regarding the readiness to reopen the karaoke business," said Iffan Radja as quoted by Antara.

The use of the singing room that is allowed to operate is limited to a maximum of 50 percent of the number of available rooms.

For other karaoke businesses that have not received an operating permit, he said, they can submit an application to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to verify their readiness.

The opening of the family karaoke business is a follow-up to the reduction of PPKM in Jakarta to level one in accordance with the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 57 of 2021 and Decree of the Governor of DKI Number 1312 of 2021.

The Head of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy (Parekraf) Office Andhika Permata then issued the Decree of the Head of the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency Number 676 of 2021, one of which regulates the opening of karaoke.

According to the Decree of the Head of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, the opening of the family karaoke is still in the trial stage.
