KUDUS - The government of Kudus Regency, Central Java, is still assessing the possibility of restricting all tourist attractions to anticipate the transmission of the corona virus or COVID-19 during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

"We cannot confirm whether later all tourist attractions in Kudus will be subject to tourist restrictions or not because we are still waiting for the results of the study, including the rules that will be enforced from the center," said Kudus Regent Hartopo in Kudus, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 21.

Meanwhile, socialization of the implementation of health protocols starting from diligently wearing masks, washing hands with soap, maintaining distance and avoiding crowds is still being carried out because the pandemic is not over yet.

For this reason, he said, vigilance must still be carried out, one of which is by obeying health protocols and maintaining body immunity by vaccination. Meanwhile, the current vaccination achievement in Kudus has reached more than 60 percent for the first dose.

He also invited his residents to remind their relatives from out of town not to return home to keep their families safe and large from the transmission of COVID-19. If you want to meet, of course, you can call with a video screen.

Even if the fact is that many residents have migrated back to their villages, a decision can be made to close all tourist attractions to anticipate the transmission of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the Health Service team will also conduct random antigen rapid tests to check whether or not residents have been exposed.
