The regulation of the trial is only for visits to the Betawi Museum or zone A
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Betawi Cultural Village Management Unit (UPK PBB) of Setu Babakan in South Jakarta is conducting a trial reopening of Betawi Museum for tourists, with the number of visitors capped at 25 percent of the museum's capacity.

"The museum opening trial has been conducted since September 25, 2021 for tourists. It is because only the museum has been CHSE-certified," head of UPK PBB of Setu Babakan, Imron, said here on Monday.

According to Imron, to re-open a tourist area, it must meet the CHSE requirements, which refer to health protocols for tourism based on cleanliness, health, security, and environmental friendliness.

"The CHSE requirements are taken care of per destination, location, not the whole (tourist) site," he said.

The trial reopening is being carried out on a limited time and place basis, thus only the Betawi Museum area is being opened Tuesdays through Sundays, while the remaining attractions are closed, he informed.

"It is closed on Mondays for the maintenance of the entire museum unless there is a prior agreement or guest," he added.

According to Imron, for the trial reopening, the management has been asking visitors to scan the PeduliLindungi barcode to prove they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

"The regulation of the trial is only for visits to the Betawi Museum or zone A," he explained.

Visitors are required to comply with the health protocols and scan the barcode when entering and leaving the premises, he said adding that and children under the age of 12 are not being allowed yet.

People who have not been vaccinated for health reasons, such as those who have just recovered from COVID-19, can still visit the Betawi Museum by bringing a doctor's statement, he said.

Moreover, people who earlier tested positive for COVID-19 need to show the latest negative RT-PCR listed in the PeduliLindungi account, he added.
