JAKARTA - Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, stated that there are no restrictions on the implementation of worship at the upcoming Christmas celebrations. Places of worship or churches are allowed to accommodate 100 percent of the available capacity for Christmas services.
"I briefly convey that there are no restrictions on the implementation of worship. Because according to the Ministry of Home Affairs' instructions, PPKM is level one all. This means that measurable freedoms have been carried out," said Wins Yaqut at a press conference, Friday, December 16.
Yaqut emphasized that 100 percent capacity is the maximum limit for places of worship to accommodate pilgrims. So he said, it was forbidden to build tents outside the church for worship.
"For places of worship, we limit it to a maximum of 100 percent. This means that there should be no places of worship that carry out Christmas services to make tents outside of worship," said Yaqut.
"Because the regulations at PPKM level are like that, they can still be 100 percent but they can't be more than that. This is what I think is the most important thing in commemorating Christmas celebrations," he added.
