Signed by the Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian and addressed to the Governor of NTB, Zulkieflimansyah and the regents or mayors in the region. The instruction emphasizes that the maximum number of spectators present at the Mandalika Circuit is 100 thousand people.

"Regulate the number of spectators for the implementation of the MotoGP Mandalika at most 100 thousand people with the number of festival class spectators at most 10 percent of the total audience," the instruction reads in a written statement, Saturday, February 5.

In addition, Tito also ordered the governor and local regents or mayors to prepare the NTB Provincial Hospital as the first referral hospital. They were also asked to set up a centralized isolation facility and a PCR test facility.
