"Then we will continue our journey to Surabaya to conduct hospitality and halal bihalal with the Governor of East Java Khofifah," he said.

Previously reported, the government this year allowed Eid prayer activities in mosques or in the field by implementing health protocols.

This is in accordance with the Circular Letter of the Ministry of Religion Number 8 of 2022.

In addition, the government also allows people to return to their hometowns to stay in touch with their families. This easing was carried out because the number of COVID-19 was under control this year.
