Thus far, he assessed, the health protocol in the museum had been implemented well.

"Perhaps it is because the number of visitors is still small. And according to Gubernatorial Regulation number 51/2020, the number is limited by 50 percent of the normal capacity," he explained.

The following are a number of COVID-19 transmission prevention protocols that must be implemented by each museum:

- Provide information regarding COVID-19 prevention

- Control of museum employees and visitors

- Restrictions on the number of museum visitors

- Check the body temperature of employees and visitors using an infrared thermometer
