The Yogyakarta administration will apply “new normal” health protocols starting in July, including in the tourism industry. Kadarmanta Baskara Aji, the administration secretary, that one of the regulations would limit the number of visitors to tourist destinations to 100 people. Along with tourist destinations, hotels, shopping malls and traditional markets will also have to comply with the protocols. Hotels, for instance, must provide hand sanitizer and handwashing stations. The number of guests per room will also be limited. For shopping malls and markets, organizers will have to be prepared for large crowds and make sure that visitors wear face masks. Regarding why the protocols were to be applied in July, Aji said one of the factors was that social assistance funds would end in June. Afterward, the public would be expected to resume their activities and businesses while adhering to health protocols//JP
