JAKARTA - Positive cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia continue to increase. One of the causes is the lack of public awareness of health protocols. The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan highlighted this.

Luhut regretted the crowd in Jakarta a few days ago. He asked all people not to crowd and violate health protocols (prokes), because this could lead to a new cluster of the spread of COVID-19.

In fact, said Luhut, there were officials present in the crowd. There are also officials who returned from abroad who did not quarantine according to the direction of the COVID-19 task force for one week.

"We don't want crowds. This is the reason for the new cluster and there is evidence. People must comply with health protocols, wear masks, wash hands and keep their distance," he said, in a webinar on the Job Creation Law, Tuesday, November 17. .

Previously, when FPI leader Rizieq Shihab returned to Indonesia, thousands of members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) packed Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport to welcome him.

PT Angkasa Pura II noted that 118 domestic and international flights experienced departure delays on Tuesday, November 10.

Hundreds of sympathizers from FPI leader Rizieq Shihab also packed the Petamburan area, Central Jakarta. The Petamburan area is the access road to the FPI Central Leadership Council (DPP) headquarters. To be precise, it is located at Petamburan III No.17 Petamburan, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan also came to Rizieq Shihab's residence in Petamburan, Jakarta, on Tuesday, November 10 evening.

After arriving in Indonesia, Rizieq Shihab held a birthday event for the Prophet Muhammad SAW at the Al-Alaf Alhabib Alin Abdurrahman Assegaf Ta'lim Council. This also created a large crowd. In fact, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria together with the Mayor of South Jakarta Marullah Matali attended the event.

Rizieq also held his daughter's wedding party and invited 10 thousand invited guests. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is strongly discouraged to gather and say a wedding party with that many guests.
