"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
- Ensure employees are well educated and obliged to socialize COVID-19 prevention to visitors
- Provide hand-washing facilities or sink plus soap and hand sanitizer at certain points
- Routine disinfectant in collections and in places that are prone touched by visitors
- Restrictions on the number of museum visitors
- Check the body temperature of employees and visitors using an infrared thermometer
- Implement and supervise physical distancing protocols
- Make the right visitors in a bid to suppress the distance of visitors according to the minimum distance
