JAKARTA - The government allows outdoor sports activities in the extension of PPKM (Community Activity Restrictions) Level 4, Level 3, and Level 2 in Java and Bali until August 23.
The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, said that even though this activity had been permitted, its capacity was still limited.
"Outdoor sports that are carried out individually or in groups of no more than 4 people and do not involve physical contact will be allowed to operate with strict health protocols", Luhut said in a virtual press conference, Monday, August 16.
Luhut said that the pilot application of this SOP used the PeduliLindung application in four agglomerations in Java-Bali at PPKM Level 4 and districts/cities with PPKM Level 3.
Not only that, but the government has also relaxed the capacity of visitors to malls or shopping centers in the extension of this PPKM. Restaurants within the mall are also allowed to serve dine-in.
Previously, Luhut announced that PPKM Level 4, Level 3, and Level 2 in Java and Bali were extended for the next week.

Luhut acknowledged that the number of COVID-19 cases on August 15 had fallen by 76 percent and active cases had fallen 53 percent from their peak. However, he said the mobility of the community had returned to normal conditions.
"This indicates a significant increase in people's mobility compared to the beginning of last July. On the one hand, this shows that the economy is recovering quickly but there is a risk of increasing cases in the next 2 to 3 weeks if we are not careful. This is good enough, it must be maintained", said Luhut.
In the implementation of the extension of the PPKM for the next week, there are additional districts/cities entering level 3 as many as 8 districts/cities, so that the total regencies/cities included in levels 3 and 2 reach 61 districts/cities.
"Regarding this decision, it will be stated in the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs in more detail", he concluded.
