JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan confirmed that in the near future, film players or cinemas in Jakarta will reopen. This has been agreed between the DKI Provincial Government and the COVID-19 Handling Task Force.

"In the near future, cinema activities in Jakarta will reopen," said Anies at Graha BNPB, East Jakarta, Wednesday, August 26.

Even so, Anies did not mention the exact time the cinema will open. He said that in the near future the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will prepare a regulation regulating the COVID-19 prevention protocol for workers and visitors in the cinema.

In general, the regulations to be regulated are age qualifications. There will be an age limit allowed and prohibited from watching movies during a pandemic.

Then, there were changes to the conditions related to ticket bookings. All ticket purchases will be made online or online and there will be no ticket purchases on site.

"Then also about masks, air filtration, then regular cleaning, then also about seating arrangements in the cinema," said Anies.

In addition, employees and visitors must obey 3M's principles in preventing the spread of COVID-19 from entering to leaving theaters. These principles are wearing a mask, keeping your distance, and washing your hands using soap or hand sanitizer.

Then, Anies continued, if there are cinema activities that do not follow the health protocol, the DKI Provincial Government can again close the cinema business.

"Everything must be disciplined, everything follows the protocol, if it is not followed then we will immediately close it, because our number one priority is health and safety," explained Anies.
