JAKARTA

The Idul Fitri tradition of mudik (exodus) will return this year with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo announcing that the government would ease restrictions for the holiday festivities for the first time in the two years since the pandemic started.

Indonesian Muslims can finally hold mass prayers during the fasting month of Ramadan, which is expected to begin on April 2.

“This year, Muslims can hold congregational tarawih [Ramadan evening prayers] and gather to pray in mosques… People who also want to go on mudik are welcomed [to do so],” Jokowi said on Wednesday, adding that Indonesia’s encouraging COVID-19 situation had warranted the easing of mudik restrictions.
