JAKARTA - Three hajj candidates from Merangin Regency, Jambi failed to leave for the Holy Land during the 2022 Hajj Season. They were caught not being vaccinated against COVID-19.

"There should have been 199 JCH Merangin people. However, there are three people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19, so they failed to leave," said Head of the Merangin Regency Ministry of Religion H Marwan Hasan in Bangko, Friday, June 24.

Marwan said that as many as 197 JCH people who were dispatched were divided into two groups. Domestic costs are borne by the Merangin Regency Government.

Those who departed in the first batch of Jambi Province departed for the Provincial Hajj Dormitory in Jambi City on Thursday night, then flown to Batam on Friday, and departed for the holy land from Batam's Hang Nadim Airport Embarkation on Saturday (25/6).

Meanwhile, Muyah bin Aher (64) is the oldest prospective pilgrim from Merangin Regency, Jambi Province, who will depart for the holy land on Saturday (25/6) from Batam Embarkation Airport.

This is based on data from prospective pilgrims in Merangin Regency, Friday.

Muyah is a resident of Kungkai Village, Bangko District, Merangin Regency. Meanwhile, Rendi Pariansah became the youngest pilgrim candidate from the area at 24 years old.

Merangin Regent H Mashuri released 197 prospective Hajj pilgrims (JCH) from Merangin Regency, to the Holy Land of Makkah. The release and celebration of the pilgrimage took place in the Auditorium of the Merangin Regent's official residence.

The Regent advised prospective hajj pilgrims to be disciplined in maintaining the health protocols for preventing COVID-19 and not bringing too much food from Merangin.

The regent also asked the JCHs not to bring their families who escorted them to the Jambi Hajj Dormitory. In addition to the heavy traffic flow due to coal transportation, the Jambi Hajj Dormitory location has also been sterilized.

"It's enough for the JCH delivery family until the release ceremony at the Baitul Makmur Merangin Mosque, because everything has been sterilized. At the Jambi Hajj Dormitory, JCH will not meet the accompanying family, because the place is sterile," said the Regent.

In addition, the regent advised the prospective Hajj Merangin, to always maintain health, eat regularly and get enough sleep. Don't let your health be disturbed once you arrive in the Holy Land of Mecca, so that your pilgrimage will also be disrupted.

Present at the release and thanksgiving ceremony for the pilgrimage were the Chair of the Merangin District Mosque Council H Arfandi Ibnu Hajar, the Chair of the Merangin DPRD H Herman Effendi, the Assistant I Secretariat for Merangin H Abdul Gani and the Chair of the Merangin TP PKK Hj Nurhaida Mashuri.
