JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan asked all mosque managers in DKI Jakarta not to hold Eid prayers. This is in line with the implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) policy.
"I ask the lurah, sub-district head, Babinsa, and the police chief to ask the mosque to temporarily cancel the Eid prayer," he said at Monas, Gambir, Central Jakarta, Sunday, July 18.
Furthermore, Anies appealed for Eid prayer activities to be carried out at their respective homes as in 2020.
"We urge all organizers to hold Eid prayers in their respective homes as we did last year. With that, God willing, all will be protected (from COVID-19)," he said.
Anies said that his party had conducted socialization to mosque managers regarding this matter. In total, more than 3,000 mosques were given socialization not to hold Eid prayers.
"There are still 245 mosques that will be socialized so that there will be no Eid prayers," he said.
In addition, Anies also asked the entire community to carry out Eid al-Adha in accordance with the circular recommendation of the Minister of Religion. One of them is to continue to implement health protocols.
"So that the Shari'a is implemented but safety is also fulfilled," he said.
Not only that, Anies also reminded the public not to go to places of slaughtering sacrificial animals. This is to avoid any buildup when queuing for sacrificial meat.
"It is done by the committee only and distributed by the committee directly to the recipient's house. So there is no need for anyone to stand in line to take the meat of the sacrificial animal, everything was distributed this was done last year," he explained
