JAKARTA - The Indonesian World Records Museum (Muri) requires that every record-keeping activity in Muri be carried out by implementing health protocols as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"The implementation of Muri's record-keeping activity requires following health protocols during a pandemic," said Senior Manager Muri Sri Widayati in Wangon, Banyumas Regency, Central Java, on Sunday.

He said this after handing over the Muri award certificate to the Commander of the 405 / Suryakusuma Infantry Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Infantry Kresna Santy Dharma accompanied by the Leader of New Felicia HSS Audio Muhklison during the "Sound" National Race Competition at Pancasila Field, Infantry Battalion 405 / Suryakusuma Headquarters.

In this case, Yonif 405 / Suryakusuma and New Felicia HSS Audio managed to create a new record in Muri for the category Sound Field Contest with the Most Participants, namely 111 participants, making it a record 9,704.

Meanwhile, the Commander of Infantry Battalion 405 / Suryakusuma Lieutenant Colonel Inf Kresna Santy Dharma said that his party and New Felicia HSS Audio managed to record a Muri record in the form of a Field Sound Contest with the Most Participants.

"We have already submitted (Muri's award certificate) and have been verified by the Indonesian World Records Museum, so it is hoped that in the future we can also carry out activities, be able to carry out activities while adhering to health protocols. So it does not mean that during the pandemic we cannot do activities, we will continue to do activities, but but we maintain and implement the 3M health protocol, namely wearing masks, washing hands with soap and running water, and maintaining distance, "he said.

He said that his party deliberately chose the National Race "Sound" Contest as part of a series of activities held in the framework of the 75th Anniversary of the TNI and 67th Anniversary of Yonif 405 / Suryakusuma because the number of participants was not large so it could be controlled.

However, he admitted that on the first day of the National Race "Sound" Competition, Saturday, 31 October, many people wanted to come to watch the event.

"I said, this is not a concert. So, I have confirmed to New Felicia that the personnel who can enter are those who use an 'id card' (identification card, ed.)," He said.

Thus, when in the field there are those who do not use identification cards, he said, his party will remove them from the activity arena and check their body temperature and ask them to apply health protocols.

"Yesterday it was found that some were not wearing masks. We prepared masks, we distributed them," he said.

However, on the last day of the activity, November 1, he said, his party tightened the application of health protocols so that if someone did not wear a mask, they would be removed from the activity arena and asked to return home.

In this case, he continued, his party did not distribute masks to participants who did not use personal protective equipment as was done on the first day of the activity.

"We invite them to take the masks first, then they can enter," he said.
