CENTRAL JAVA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo toured villages in Semarang City to remind the committee for slaughtering sacrificial animals to obey health protocols.

Ganjar traveled around by bicycle and chose to visit the village around the official residence of the Governor of Central Java, which turned out to be an orderly process of slaughtering sacrificial animals. The committee and residents were seen wearing masks and keeping their distance.

The following location that Ganjar visited was in front of the Darussalam Mosque, Pancakarya, Semarang, where some residents were seen without masks and standing close to each other.

"Come on over there, Mas, wear the masks. Sir, please remind the residents to keep wearing masks. Anyway, those who enter this area are told to wear masks. Don't let there be a sacrificial cluster", said Ganjar to the sacrificial committee as reported by Antara, Tuesday, July 20.

Similar conditions are seen in the Sawah Besar and Muktiharjo Kidul areas, where Ganjar always finds residents or the sacrificial animals committee incorrectly wearing a mask, some even not wearing a mask.

"Sir, where's your mask. Let's wear it, don't let everyone get sick or get infected with Corona. If you're sick, it's hard to find a hospital now, it's difficult to find oxygen. So ask for your attention. Please also remind the committee", Ganjar reminded.

Previously, the Head of the Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Service of Central Java Province, Lalu M. Syafriadi, appealed to all parties who were involved in the committee for slaughtering sacrificial animals on Eid al-Adha to comply with health protocols during the pandemic to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"In addition to the health protocol, it is important to ask for an animal health certificate (SKKH) if you buy a sacrificial animal to determine its suitability", he said.

According to him, this is by the announcement from the Director-General of Livestock and Animal Health regarding the slaughter of sacrificial animals in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The circular numbered 8017/SE/PK.320/F/06/2021 explained the efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when slaughtering sacrificial animals.

"For the implementation of the slaughter of sacrificial animals, the priority is in the slaughterhouse (RPH), if it does not meet the number, it can be done at the mosque or according to the place chosen by the committee. And even then, health protocols must apply", he said
