To avoid a spike in COVID-19 cases, Nina said, it is necessary to oversee people's movement during Eid through micro-scale activity restriction (PPKM) that has been implemented by the government.
"During Eid, residents will visit relatives or unconsciously shake hands with neighbors. Even though we don't know, we could be exposed to COVID-19 and pass it on to other people," she reminded.
