JAKARTA - Ragunan Zoo will reopen starting Saturday, March 13 for people who want to go there. This follows the decision of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan who extended the micro-scale community activity restrictions (PPKM) until March 22.
"Ragunan has reopened services to the public starting tomorrow. So what distinguishes it when the Large-scale Social Distancing (PSBB) was implemented some time ago, we were closed starting on December 30, 2020, on the advice of the leadership", said Head of the Executive Unit for Promotion of Ragunan Zoo, Ketut Widarsana, to reporters, Friday, 12 March.
Ketut said, the visitor capacity of Ragunan was limited to 50 percent of the normal capacity, which is 5.000 people. This number is increased from the capacity during the PSBB implementation which was limited to 2.000 people.
"Even though we open with a capacity of 5 thousand people, it is in our opinion the size is normal. If we take look at it, the highest number ever was 160 thousand during Eid Al-Fitr. On Sundays, there are usually 50 thousand visitors", he said.
Ketut continued, Ragunan's operating hours are also limited, from 07.00 a.m. to 14.30 p.m. local time. Currently, the residents outside DKI are also allowed to visit.
