BELITUNG - The government of Belitung Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, has allowed the public to perform Eid prayers in open fields following the decline in the spread of COVID-19 cases.

"We allow the implementation of Eid prayers in the open field, taking into account the condition of the COVID-19 case which is starting to improve," said Belitung Regional Secretary, MZ Hendra Caya in Tanjung Pandan, Antara, Friday, April 22.

The decision was also taken after the Belitung Regency Government held a meeting with religious leaders and Islamic organizations some time ago. "But we hope that we will continue to comply with health protocols to anticipate the spread of COVID-19," he said.

He said, while the Eid al-Fitr takbir was canceled to anticipate the spread of COVID-19.

"Idul Fitri takbir can be carried out in mosques or prayer rooms while still adhering to health protocols," he said.

He also reminded ASN in the area not to hold an open house during the Eid momentum.

"It's okay to have gatherings, but don't invite crowds and then set up tents and so on because it has the potential to cause crowds," he said.
