The committee for the commemoration of the death of Isa Al is still implementing health protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in worship at the Jakarta Cathedral Church on Friday.

"We really have to accept that at this time the pandemic has not really disappeared, meaning that COVID-19 is still there," said Public Relations of the Jakarta Archdiocese and the Susyana Suwadie Cathedral Church, quoted from ANTARA, April 7.

He said that the management of the Cathedral Church since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic was committed to supporting efforts to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19.

The Jakarta Cathedral management carried out preventive efforts such as asking the congregation to wear masks while in the church environment to minimize the risk of transmission of the corona virus.

"Every change of worship is also disinfected," he said.

On Good Friday, according to the organizing committee, there were around 3,000 people who were worshiping at the Jakarta Cathedral Church. Congregations who attended generally came from Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi.

The committee requires congregants who attend worship at the Jakarta Cathedral Church to wear masks.

Congregations that attend worship in the church area are asked to register via online, while congregants who attend worship in the front and back areas of the church and Plaza Maria do not need to register.

In addition, the organizing committee asked the congregation who wanted to attend the service at the Jakarta Cathedral Church to ensure that their bodies were in good health and had undergone a COVID-19 vaccination at least twice.

The organizing committee prepared around 3.00 seats with a reserve of 500 seats for congregants who wanted to carry out worship at the Jakarta Cathedral Church during the Holy Week.

Among the congregations who performed worship at the Cathedral Church on Friday, there was Agnes (27), a resident of Cikupa, Tangerang.

"Incidentally today I'm still working in Jakarta. So I worship before work," said Agnes, who works in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta.

Agnes, who when she came was not wearing a mask, was approached by church officials offering free masks.

"Luckily I got a mask at the church, because I forgot, I didn't bring it. Usually, it's rare to use it because the pandemic situation is sloping," he said.
