PAPUA - The Committee for the Commemoration of Islamic Holidays (PHBI) in Papua reminds people who carry out worship during the month of Ramadan to continue to follow strict health protocols (prokes). The Chairperson of the Papua PHBI Committee, Alwi Tianlean, said that the appeal includes Muslims who carry out Eid prayers 1443 H in mosques and other locations. The main thing is wearing a mask as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19.

"For this year, we do not open the implementation of Eid Prayer 1443 H in congregation in the field," he said in Jayapura, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, April 27. According to Alwi, usually his party holds Eid prayers together every year. "However, this year we did not implement it," he said. He explained this because there was a governor's office construction so this year's Eid prayers will be held in mosques around the house. "Since the pandemic we have not opened the implementation of joint prayers," he said. He added, with the current conditions, almost all mosques can certainly carry out Eid prayers. "With the implementation at the mosque can reduce the crowd in large numbers," he said.
