.Knock! The hammer has been hit. The decision can no longer be contested. The ban on New Year celebrations in public places was officially enforced. After cutting off collective leave at the end of the year, the government has now banned all forms of New Year celebrations in public places. This decision was taken to prevent crowds from appearing.
As quoted from Kompas, this decision was made on December 14 yesterday. The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment who is also Deputy Chairman of the Covid-19 Management Committee and Economic Recovery (KPC PEN) Luhut Binsar Panjaitan held a meeting with regional heads to discuss and make this decision. Well, can't meet friends! This decision must have added to the sadness. Moreover, you have planned a new year celebration. Meanwhile, you really have to hold back your ego. There are common interests that must be prioritized. So, how about celebrating the new year virtually?

.This decision was taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Given the spike in positive cases always goes up after a holiday. That's why this decision was chosen. Delivered by Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Handling Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery. Through a press release, Luhut announced that the enforcement of this decision could start from 18 December 2020 to 7 January 2021.
"The number of positive numbers and the death rate continues to increase after the holidays after the previous trend decreased," said Luhut, quoted from Kompas.

Especially if you or a loved one is exposed to the virus after huddling and having fun. Just for a moment, you try to think. This decision is not bad. In fact, the purpose is good. Don't be desperate to break, OK. This decision has sanctions, especially for people in Bali. Hold on to celebrate the new year that invites many people
.The local government of Bali makes a strict regulation: prohibiting New Year celebrations. This regulation is binding. Valid for every person, business actor, manager, organizer, or person in charge of public places. "It is prohibited to hold New Year's celebration parties and the like indoors and / or outdoors, using firecrackers, fireworks, and the like, and drinking alcoholic beverages." Snippet of Circular Letter of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office. Quoted from Travel Kompas. If it is known that they are holding Christmas and New Year celebrations, they will be subject to sanctions in the form of postponing administrative services to collecting fines. Oops! The full details of this rule are contained in the Bali Governor Regulation Number 46 of 2020 and other laws and regulations. This decision will save a lot of people.
