Indonesia to Ban New Year's Celebrations in Public Places

“[Ragunan] zoo will be open from 8am to 3pm, with a 25 percent visitor capacity, or 2000 people, at any one time. Children below nine years old, pregnant women and older people above 60 will not be allowed in the zoo,” said zoo official Ketut Widarsana.

“Visitors with diabetes, heart problems, tuberculosis, kidney failure and other pre-existing conditions are also barred from entering Ragunan Zoo. The application of health protocols is in accordance with the latest developments of the Covid-19 pandemic in Jakarta.”

Ketut added that the policy still applies until further notice.

Indonesia currently has 629,429 Covid-19 cases since March 2020 after an additional 6,129 cases were detected over the past 24 hours. 19,111 people died from the coronavirus, while another 93,662 cases were thought to be active.

On the other hand, 516,656 people recovered from Covid-19.
