Ancol’s management noted that over 39 thousand people visited the amusement park on the second day of Idul Fitri on Friday, more than its maximum limit of 30 percent capacity or 30 thousand people during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“Ancol closed three gates after it met its daily quota of visitors. Originally we planned to close the park on Saturday, but we opened it to a limited extent to meet popular demand before closing for maintenance,” said Ancol Corporate Communication manager Rika Lestari.

Indonesian Covid-19 Task Force head Doni Monardo voiced similar opinions to Muhaimin, when he stated that tourist venues which violated Covid-19 health protocols should be closed.
