of the Eid homecoming once a year, aiming to stay in touch with extended family and friends.

The reasons for prohibiting homecoming include increased population mobility.

Spokesperson for the Covid-19 Handling Task Force Prof. Wiku Adisasmito, the first reason the
ban is still being issued is the concern about increased mobility or population movement which
could have an impact on increasing the number of active cases. Based on currently known data,
there is a relationship between mobility and an increase in cases in 3 provinces over the past 4
months, namely in the period January 1-April 12, 2021. The three provinces referred to are Riau
Province with population mobility of 7 percent increasing weekly active cases by 71 percent. The
two provinces of Jambi, where the population experienced a 23 percent increase in mobility
accompanied by a 14 percent increase in weekly active cases. Meanwhile, the Lampung Province
has experienced an increase in population mobility of around 33 percent and is accompanied by
an increase in the number of weekly active cases by 14 percent. "These three provinces show a
trend of increasing population mobility to shopping centers, which is in line with an increasing
trend in the number of active cases," said Wiku through the Committee for Handling Covid-19
and National Economic Recovery. Not only that, Wiku also invited all people to learn from the

However, there are several criteria that are excluded in the prohibition of going home,
namely. Work / official trips, visits from sick families, visits from grief of deceased family
members, pregnant women who are accompanied by 1 family member, the interests of
accompanying childbirth are a maximum of 2 people, certain other non-travel interests
accompanied by a certificate from the local Village Head / Lurah. And will be granted allow.

With the existence of the rules on the prohibition of going home, on the one hand
many are supportive, and on the other hand many people reject the rules issued by the government.
This is because there are some people who think that the cases of Covid-19 this year have started
to decline compared to the previous year, especially since some people have received vaccine
injections from the government. This is what underlies the people's thinking that going home is
not the thing that really influences the spread of Covid-19. Besides this, this policy is quite
contradictory when aligned with the government's decision to allow people to pray tarawih in
mosques. Moreover, the government has also opened tourism in various regions. Sandiaga Uno
as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy admits that he has been blessed to be able to open
tourist destinations during the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr by the Coordinating Ministry for Human
Development.
