BANDUNG - The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) provides relaxation to the entertainment and tourist destination sector during the extension of the PPKM until August 23, 2021.

Bandung City Secretary Ema Sumarna said, even though relaxation was given, later the sector would need to carry out simulations to ensure that the COVID-19 health protocol could be carried out optimally.

"This entertainment venue has a tendency or it has been decided that relaxation will be given. For example, 25 percent maximum (capacity) but of course with very strict health protocols," said Ema at Bandung City Hall, West Java, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, August 18.

However, for tourist attractions, Ema said there is an age limit for visitors who can enter. According to him, tourist attractions are only allowed for visitors aged 12 years and over.

"When the zoo opens, the maximum capacity may be limited, for example," he said.

In addition, activities at the hotel will also be allowed with activity rules that are determined not based on the percentage of capacity, but by the weight of visitors who can take part in the activity.

"We have to be really proportional, because one building is different from another. If only 25 percent were given, it would be hundreds of people, the units could be thousands," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the implementation of the simulation, it will be regulated in a Mayor Regulation which will soon be issued to address the new PPKM condition

"Regarding cases in Bandung City, it shows a very extraordinary decline or the term is under control, we started from being active at the beginning of July 3, we had a peak at 9,118 active cases, now there are 4,013 active cases," said Ema.
