Most COVID-19 Cases, DKI Delays Opening Of Entertainment Venues

JAKARTA – The provincial government of DKI Jakarta has considered reopening a number of entertainment venues that were closed during the PSBB transition, such as movie screenings (cinemas) and fitness centers (gyms). However, this plan was canceled.

This was recognized by the Head of the Tourism Industry Division of the DKI Jakarta Economic and Tourism Office (Disparekraf) Bambang Ismadi.

“Yesterday we were arguing. We are trying to propose again. Well, (the plan to open the cinema to the gym, ed) is leaking first,” Bambang said when confirmed, on Thursday, August 20.

Initially, the DKI Disparekraf issued Decree No. 2976/2020, which contained 23 activities and entertainment venues that were allowed to open from August 14 to August 27, 2020, or when the transitional period of PSBB was extended.

This 8-page decree has been signed by Plt Head of DKI Disparekraf Gumilar Ekalaya, dated August 14, 2020.

Some of the entertainment activities listed in this decree have already been opened, such as hotels, restaurants, lounges, indoor and outdoor recreational parks, zoos, museums, beaches, golf, film productions, outdoor beach shows, seminars and corporate activities. .

However, this decree has also allowed the opening of activities such as cinemas, billiards, bowling, swimming pools, playgrounds and gyms. Where, this activity cannot be reopened due to the risk of spreading the transmission of COVID-19.

Until finally, the DKI Disparekraf revised the SK with the same number, that is, SK Number 2976 from 2020 but with a reduction to 6 pages. In this decree, entertainment activities in closed rooms are again prohibited.

The reason for the revocation of licenses for a number of entertainment activities, Bambang said, was the increasing condition of the COVID-19 case in Jakarta. In fact, DKI is currently the province with the most accumulated cases in Indonesia.

“(The above decree, red) has indeed been signed. But, first we ask for opinions from the left and right, please. There is a consideration that we have not opened (cinema to gym, ed) yet because Jakarta is still in a red zone., red) leaked hastily, “explained Bambang.
