Jakarta bans Eid al-Adha Qurban
JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration through the Food, Maritime, Agriculture Security Agency has prohibited the slaughter of sacrificial animals or qurban during 2020 Eid al-Adha in the areas classified as Covid-19 red zone.

 “For densely-populated areas and those categorized as red zones, the slaughter of sacrificial animals will be moved to predetermined slaughterhouses,” said the KPKP Head Darmuji in a written statement.

Darmuji mentioned that the decision was aimed at preventing the potential transmission of the novel coronavirus infection and as to comply with the ongoing transitional PSBB or Large-Scale Social Restrictions. As published by Jakarta’s official website for the coronavirus mitigation, corona.jakarta.go.id, as of July 2, 2020, a total of 27 community units or RW were considered as areas with a high risk of Covid-19 transmission.

Additionally, Darmuji asserted that the slaughterhouses during the Eid al-Adha would only open for the qurban committee under the predetermined health protocols.
