TANGERANG - The implementation of Eid al-Adha 1443 Hijri/2022 AD prayers in all mosques in Tangerang Regency, Banten, is limited to 50 percent of capacity.

"If the implementation is Eid al-Adha prayers in open spaces, we are welcome, but if it is in a closed room, the mosque must be 50 percent," said Tangerang Regent Ahmed Zaki Iskandar in Tangerang, Thursday, July 7.

He said that limiting the capacity of the number of worshippers in enclosed spaces or mosques is feared that there will be a buildup that can lead to the transmission of COVID-19. "So, we still allow (Eid al-Fitr prayers) while still implementing strict health protocols," he said.

He said that the ranks of the Tangerang Regency Government have currently prepared some preparations in welcoming the implementation of this Eid al-Adha worship.

One of them is to tighten and prepare facilities for implementing health protocols such as hand washing stations, masks, body temperature measuring devices and sterilization of mosques using liquids or spraying disinfectants before and after the implementation of worship.

"In the implementation of the distribution of sacrificial animals, the implementation of health protocols has also been tightened," he said.

He added that related to the implementation of mobile takbir, his party and related law enforcement continued to prohibit people from holding mobile takbir.

"The ban on mobile takbir must be there, later I, along with the chief of police, will give an advisory and patrol at night," he said.
