The government finally allowed cinemas to reopen. Cinemas located in the Level 2 and 3 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) categories can operate again.

Things you need to prepare:

To minimize the spread of the coronavirus in cinemas, an epidemiologist from Griffith University Australia, Dicky Budiman, said the first thing to do before going to the cinema is to check your own health condition.

Second, if you feel fit, choose a cinema that is closest to your home. These restrictions will help ease the screening process if needed.

Third, stay disciplined to apply health protocols, starting from wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance. Avoid eating, drinking, or taking the mask off while in the cinema.

Lastly, try not to touch objects in the cinema area as possible. Also, try to avoid sitting in the cinema lobby, which tends to be crowded.
