JAKARTA - The head of the commemoration committee of the Prophet's birthday together with the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Haris Ubaidillah, will try their best so that the people who attend the event can apply health protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. One way to do this is to set up a hand washing area and will ask the event guide to remind the public about health protocols.

"The committee will try their best. We have prepared things like washing and all kinds. Later, we will also remind all MCs to always remind residents," said Haris to reporters in Petamburan, Central Jakarta, Saturday, November 14.

In addition, the FPI Laskar will be deployed to maintain security with the police and manage traffic with members of the transportation service, as well as to maintain the implementation of health protocols during these activities.

The committee, he continued, had also made efforts to socialize 3M such as maintaining distance, wearing masks, and washing hands with the water provided or with a handsanitizer. "We even recommend bringing a spare mask and not shaking hands," he said.

However, he could not guarantee that all those present at the Prophet's birthday, which also coincided with the wedding ceremony for the daughter of the High Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab, would be orderly.

"The name of this community is beyond our ability. But we have an effort, the important thing is there is an effort. The rest we leave to Allah. Hopefully with the blessing of this maulid commemoration the corona epidemic can soon leave our beloved country," he said.

Furthermore, he said, his party received a number of assistance from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in the form of masks and hand sanitizers which were distributed to the masses who attended the event.

Previously, Rizieq Shihab arrived in Indonesia on Tuesday, November 10. At that time he was greeted by a crowd of supporters at Soekarno-Hatta Airport and around Petamburan, Central Jakarta.

He is noted to be carrying out a number of activities including holding the Prophet's birthday and the marriage of his daughter, Najwa Shihab, which is planned to be attended by 10 thousand invited guests at his residence.

Regarding this activity, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria asked all parties to implement health protocols and implement 3M, namely wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining distance.

"We ask all activities so that whatever the activity is, wherever we ask for all activities, the organizers carry out the COVID-19 protocol, health protocol and implement 3M, namely wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance," said Riza as quoted by Antara, Saturday, November 14th.

Riza hopes that the organizer, Rizieq and his family, will prepare officers to ensure that the events being held do not cause crowds and are assisted by the authorities.

"Later, of course, it needs attention and support from the supervision and monitoring of PSBB (large-scale social restrictions) to help regulate traffic, regulate distance and so on, facilities and infrastructure must be prepared such as thermo gun, hand sanitizer, hand washing place and so on. , "he said.

"This applies to anyone who carries out a series of activities, let alone involving many people," he added
