Ready to feast: Muslims visiting a mosque to break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan in Yogyakarta. The government expects 85 million people to go on mudik during the Aidilfitri period, with some 14 million travellers set to leave Greater Jakarta. — AFP
The government has announced extended Aidilfitri leave days for this year and vowed to ramp up the rollout of booster shots across the country as it seeks to strike a balance between lifting mobility restrictions while also limiting the risk of rising Covid-19 cases during the festive period.
The move came as restrictions on many activities during the holy month of Ramadan in the country were eased, with worshippers now allowed to hold congregational terawih (Ramadan evening prayer) and gather to pray in mosques.
