JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has prohibited the public from holding events on New Year's Eve. Residents are also prohibited from playing fireworks or firecrackers.

"In a coordination meeting at the DKI Provincial level led by the Kapolda, there will be no New Year's Eve celebration on New Year's Eve in 2022," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes E. Zulpan.

In addition, it is forbidden to play fireworks or firecrackers on New Year's Eve because they have the potential to cause a crowd. This could lead to the potential for the spread of COVID-19.

"Including fireworks, we hope that we all have empathy in the COVID-19 pandemic situation," said Zulpan.

"Of course we are not allowed to hold crowd activities, gather in large numbers," he continued.

In order to minimize people setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve, the police will conduct raids on traders.

"Yes, yes, it's definitely (a raid, ed). It can't be (playing fireworks or firecrackers, ed)," said Zulpan.
