2020. The government has also added collective leave days with the birthday of the
Prophet Muhammad on October 28, 2020. On calendar days, the commemoration of

The shift in collective leave days at the end of the year has been carried out so that
the COVID-19 pandemic can be handled properly, said Muhadjir Effendy. In
addition, the end of the year is also a school holiday period and gives families time
to plan a vacation.

reiterated that people must celebrate Eid al-Fitr in their current locality and appealed
to citizens to not go home during "mudik" season. "Mudik" refers to the mass
exodus of people returning to their hometowns for celebrating Eid.
Mobility between provinces will be strictly limited and prioritized for logistics
distribution and medical needs during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the minister
explained.
Muhadjir Effendy said the government has made efforts to prevent the spread of
COVID-19 by stipulating Government Regulation Number 21 of 2020 concerning
large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).
He asked citizens not to go home or travel in the near future, as the coronavirus is
continuing to spread in Indonesia.
Muhadjir Effendy also directed citizens to obey the provisions of the PSBB. "Let us
implement a health protocol to fight COVID-19," he said.
