From that check, the seats in all churches are well spaced so they don't spread COVID-19 because they are close together.

Possibly, there will be more security at the HKBP Petojo church because there are four worship services a day.

"This needs supervision and security. Earlier we saw that there was care to protect and the seats had been separated, so we expect the occupancy rate to be 50 percent," he said.

According to him, in the Grogol Petamburan sub-district, there are a dozen churches that will celebrate Christmas night. However, Didiet did not mention the exact number of churches in his jurisdiction.

"There are three big ones, which we reviewed earlier, especially the HKBP, there needs to be more intense supervision," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding violations, there are teams from Civil Service Police (Satpol PP), Sector Police (Polsek), and Military District Command (Koramil).

Tanjung Duren Police Chief Commissioner Rosana Albertina Labobar said hundreds of personnel would be deployed to secure all churches in his jurisdiction. Security is also assisted by the West Jakarta Metro Police and the Metro Jaya Police.

"Three churches that we have secured here at HKBP, Kristoforus one at Mall Neo Soho, pay attention again after checking, they are quite big," she said.
