Jakarta: Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has urged Jakarta residents to celebrate Mawlid, the observance of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, at home.
According to the former education minister, if people do not strictly implement health protocols during the upcoming long weekend, the covid-19 situation in Indonesia's capital may worsen again.
"In August, the number of covid-19 cases significantly rose two weeks after a long holiday," said the governor here on Monday.
"Use masks to protect others. That is key to tackle the spread of the virus," he added.
On Monday, the National Covid-19 Handling Task Force confirmed 3,222 new covid-19 cases, bringing the total number of confirmed covid-19 cases in Indonesia to 392.934.
