SHAFAQNA-Indonesia’s home affairs minister issued a ministerial circular to regulate Eid al-Fitr gatherings, to prevent a surge in COVID-19 cases.
“On account of the Eid al-Fitr celebration and to prevent COVID-19 cases from surging, it is important that residents, governors, and mayors/district heads take notice (of this circular) to regulate halalbihalal activities being organized,” Tito Karnavian said on Saturday.
