SUMSEL - The Ogan Komering Ulu Regency Government, South Sumatra, has canceled a fireworks display to welcome the 2022 new year's eve to prevent crowds that could potentially spread the COVID-19 outbreak.

"The firework party which is usually held at Baturaja City Park this year will be cancelled," said Secretary of the Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) COVID-19 Task Force Amzar Kristopa in Baturaja, Antara, Tuesday, December 28.

The policy is stated in the OKU Regent's circular letter Number 360 of 2021 regarding the prevention and control of the COVID-19 outbreak at Christmas and the 2022 New Year.

"For the city park area on December 31, 2021 starting at 16.00 WIB, it will be closed until after New Year's Eve," he said.

This is done so that there are no crowds of people celebrating New Year's Eve at Baturaja City Park.

The task force team will be deployed around the city park to ensure that there are no crowds of people that have the potential to cause clusters to spread COVID-19.

In addition to city parks, he said, health protocol raids would also be carried out in a number of other crowded centers ranging from cafes, malls, hotels and nightlife venues in Baturaja City to ensure there are no crowds of people that could potentially cause clusters of COVID-19 spread.

"If there are people who gather, we will disperse them," he said.
