The following is President Jokowi's full statement regarding the Idul Fitri Holidays and Joint Leave in 2022:

Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Government has set a national holiday for Eid al-Fitr 1443 Hijri on May 2 and 3, 2022, and has also set a joint Eid al-Fitr leave on April 29, 4, 5, and May 6, 2022.

Decisions regarding this joint leave will be regulated in more detail through a Joint Decree of the relevant ministers. This joint leave can be used to stay in touch with parents, family, and friends at home.

However, I need to emphasize that the pandemic is not completely over. We all must always be vigilant, hasten to complete with booster vaccines, must continue to carry out health protocols in a disciplined manner, and must always wear masks when in public places or in crowds. I also need to say that the number of homecomers this year is estimated at 85 million people. Homecoming from Jabodetabek is estimated at around 14 million people, who will use private vehicles is estimated as much as 47 percent.

Of course, the government will work hard to provide maximum service so that travelers can travel safely and comfortably. Thank You
