Our local government’s task is to execute what the main task force and the Home Affairs Ministry have actually chosen, including the direction to perform religious responsibilities at home. This indicates there will be no Friday prayers tomorrow.
Jakarta – The Jakarta provincial government has actually placed a momentary restriction on carrying out Friday prayers in red zones for Muslims up until July 5.
The ban is specified in Jakarta Governor’s Decision No. 796 of 2021 on tightening activities in different sectors throughout the micro-scale public activity constraint (PPKM) period in adherence with the main government’s regulations.
” Our regional federal government’s task is to execute what the central task force and the House Affairs Ministry have actually decided, including the instruction to carry out spiritual tasks in your home. This suggests there will be no Friday prayers tomorrow,” Jakarta Vice Governor Ahmad Riza Patria mentioned at the Jakarta Town Hall on Thursday.
The restriction on Friday prayers is just relevant in red zones, or areas with a high danger of COVID-19 transmission, he clarified.
” True, it only applies to red zones. (Friday prayers) are allowed in areas besides red zones. Practically all locations in Jakarta have been designated as red zones,” he pointed out.
Patria kept in mind that 2,116 community groups (RW) in the capital had seen a rise in COVID-19 cases.
” True, there is a boost. Nearly 265 out of the 267 village-level locations have positive cases, and only two do not have,” he mentioned.
According to information from the corona.jakarta.go.id, favorable cases were found in 2,166 RWs in Jakarta, consisting of 349 RWs in North Jakarta, 568 RWs in East Jakarta, 480 RWs in South Jakarta, 285 RWs in Central Jakarta, and 484 RWs in West Jakarta.
The Jakarta administration has enforced stricter PPKM in response to a current spike in COVD-19 cases.
The Indonesian capital signed up the addition of 5,014 brand-new cases in a single day on June 21, 2021, thus pushing the tally to 479,043 cases; 5,582 cases on June 20; and 4,895 cases on June 19, 2021, a drastic jump from 856 brand-new cases on May 21, 2021.
Additionally, a total of 32,060 individuals were undergoing treatment or isolation on account of the COVID-19 infection, while 71 Jakartans had succumbed to the illness, thereby taking the death toll to 7,976 as of June 21,2021 The COVID-19 healing rate is still high, at 95.4 percent, while the death rate was tape-recorded at 1.7 percent.
