JAKARTA - The Government of Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) has limited the number of visitors at shopping centers and people's markets to a maximum of 60 percent of capacity as a follow-up to the Level 3 Restriction on Community Activities.

The regent of Gunung Kidul, Sunaryanta in Wonosari, said this rule applies to people's markets, supermarkets, supermarkets, network stores, to small-scale businesses. These restrictions are stated in the Instruction of the Regent of Gunung Kidul Number 443/0777.

"Similarly, culinary businesses such as food stalls, hawker stalls, creative field traders, to restaurants and cafes in open locations. The capacity of visitors is limited to a maximum of 60 percent, with operating hours until 21.00 WIB," said Sunaryanta, quoted from Antara, Thursday, February 10.

He said this restriction was different from the PPKM Level 3 rules that had been applied before. Meanwhile, the capacity of visitors is limited to a maximum of half or 50 percent.

Then, restaurants and cafes in closed areas and operating from the afternoon or evening, the restrictions are more stringent. Among other things, the capacity is only allowed a maximum of 25 percent and can be opened until 21.00 WIB.

The 25 percent limit on visits is also imposed on public areas to community celebration activities. Activities such as wedding receptions to takziah are required to have a recommendation from the local government apparatus.

"One table is a maximum of two people, with a maximum meal time of 60 minutes," he said.

The regent asked the community to tighten the implementation of health protocols (prokes). Including the obligation to use the PeduliLindung application and have been vaccinated with proof of certificate.

"Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by their parents and show proof of vaccination at least the first dose," said Sunaryanta.

Meanwhile, one of the Argosari Market traders, Sutinah, said that she was simply resigned to this policy. He admits that the business of selling tofu has just revived after the easing, but now there are more restrictions.

"We can only surrender," he said.
