JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy considers the implementation of the policy of eid al-Fitr 2021 homecoming in general has been running quite well." Indeed, this policy of homecoming does not work 100 percent, but that does not mean it fails at all. In general it has been good," he reported antara, Monday, May 17.The assessment indicators are based on the utilization of historical data handling homecoming 2020, tightening surveillance in a number of 'rat' or alternative pathways studied in detail, then a modus operandi of reckless travelers in ways that they think are creative but successfully anticipated. The former Minister of Education and Culture said police data in 2021 reported the number of travelers was around 1 million people. The significantly reduced number compared to last year should indicate that the rules of homecoming are running quite effectively. Muhadjir said the weekend after the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1442 Hijri is predicted to be the peak of the backflow of people who had previously recklessly returned home.

The government claims to have prepared anticipation measures to welcome the arrival of these reckless travelers. Anticipation is carried out not only in the provincial capital of DKI Jakarta, but also in several city centers including each provincial capital." The capital is not the only one. This is all we have calculated including the capital in each province which will also be the destination of the backflow. We've calculated this correctly, hopefully we'll get to the right calculations," he said. However, Muhadjir admits it is not easy. "Because it's talking about people, mobility, it's hard to be sure. But what mr. Minister of Transportation, police and TNI have done in conducting sealing and cracking down on departure, I think this is very valuable to be the basis we are in the process of welcoming their arrival of this backflow," he said. According to Muhadjir, the government has also prepared additional facilities such as hospital beds, ICU rooms, as well as the availability of oxygen. In addition, the Ministry of Health has also increased the number of trackers or tracers from 5 thousand to 100 thousand people." Hopefully this will be more effective to prevent the spread of new variants that are already in Singapore, Malaysia, philippines, and hopefully not until such a severe country," said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
