JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ministry of Health asked pilgrims to increase their rest time and not receive guests a week before leaving for the Holy Land.

"A week before leaving, if possible, the pilgrims have had a complete break," said Head of the Indonesian Ministry of Health's Health Health Center (Kapuskes) Liliek Marhaendro Susilo quoting Antara.

Liliek said people who are going to go for Hajj often like to be busy with the activities of the safar guardian. They receive guests even up to the day before departure.

In fact, he said, a few days before the day of departure is a crucial time for pilgrims. They should be in a state of rest and prepare the necessary equipment.

However, not infrequently, there are still pilgrims who are still busy preparing equipment the day before leaving.

"So we are still seeing them, tomorrow they will go to thembarkation, today they are still cleaning up the suitcases because they haven't had time. Yesterday the guests came. Walimatus said the safari should have been long before the pilgrims left," he said.

Previously, Liliek Marhaendro appealed to pilgrims to start light exercise regularly ahead of their departure to the Holy Land.

"Implement a healthy lifestyle. Every morning you walk or basically every day if you can, try to regularly exercise light," said Liliek.

Liliek said that the pilgrimage is a service that requires physical resilience. The participants of the prospective hajj will be mainly tested when entering the peak of the hajj until after.

Therefore, he urged that before departure to Saudi Arabia to maintain fitness by exercising lightly for at least 30 minutes every day.

If you usually do close-distance activities by using a vehicle. So it should be done by walking or cycling.
