Issuing New Normal Protocols, MUI Asks the Government to Follow WHO Standards. `If the spread of COVID-19 is under control, the plan to implement a new normal lifestyle can be carried out by paying attention to the following:  a. Based on data and facts related to the Corona virus and referring to WHO standards, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic curve has shown a decrease and is flattening (R<1), as an indicator that no new cases have been found this means the number of cases,` according to an excerpt from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) decree signed by MUI Deputy Chairman Muhyidin Junaidi and MUI Secretary-General Anwar Abbas as obtained by detikcom, Thursday (May 28, 2020).
In its decree, the MUI also asked the government to conduct outreach to the public. Socialization is carried out so that the public is ready to carry it out.
`Preparing the public to be able to enter a new lifestyle (new normal life) by conducting socialization, education, and advocacy regarding health protocols with the slogan 'four healthy five perfect' (always wear a mask, keep a healthy distance, always wash your hands, exercise regularly/get enough rest, don't panic, eat nutritious, good, and lawful food),` according to an excerpt from one of the MUI Decree points.
In addition, the MUI said it had conducted a study of various aspects related to the handling of the Corona pandemic. The MUI even conducted a study on the impact of the Corona pandemic.
The following are the contents of the MUI Decree on the Plan for Implementing a New Normal Life Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic:
The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) as a servant of the people (khadimul ummah) as well as a government partner (shodiiqul hukumah), must also carry out the function of maintaining the people (himayatul ummah) both in the religious field (hifdzuddin) and in other maqoshidussyari'ah, especially concerning maintenance of life (hifdzunnafs). For this reason, one of the MUI's duties is to carry out the task of commanding good and forbidding evil, until the realization of an NKRI that is baldatun thoyyibatun warobbun Ghofur.
Indonesian Ulema Council Executive Board after conducting an in-depth study of various aspects related to efforts to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact, such as:
a. Not yet knowing for sure when the COVID-19 pandemic will end because so far a vaccine or cure for COVID-19 has not been found so it cannot be produced on a mass scale.b. There are changes and adjustments to people's lifestyles such as doing work, religious services and education at home as an effort to prevent COVID-19.c. There are human needs that cannot be delayed for too long such as basic necessities and economy and the need to carry out religious services that must be carried out at places of worship such as Friday prayers, so that these conditions are difficult to maintain continuously until a time that cannot be determined.d. In that condition, the proposal to implement a new normal life (new normal life), which is a change in behavior to continue carrying out normal activities, but with the addition of implementing health protocols to prevent transmission COVID-19.e. In Islamic teachings, the importance of balancing maqashid syariah in making a policy is mentioned, namely maintaining religion (hifdz ad-din), maintaining life (Hifdh an-nafs), maintaining reason (hifdzu al-aql), maintaining family (hifdzh al-'irdh) and maintaining property (hfdzh almal).f. When in determining a policy there is a dilemma, where the maqashidu syariah must be prioritized, then protecting the safety of life (hifdh an-nafs) must be a priority.
After considering these matters, the MUI Executive Board conveys the following:
1. The policy of implementing Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) should be carried out consistently and consistently, as an effort and effort to break the chain of transmission COVID-19, according to indicators from the World Health Organization (WHO). If the condition is still not under control where the transmission COVID-19 is not yet below one (R<1), then it is recommended that the PSBB be extended again;2. In the case of the spread COVID-19 is under control, the plan to implement a new normal lifestyle can be carried out by paying attention to the following:  a. Based on data and facts related to the Corona virus and referring to WHO standards, for example, the pandemic curve COVID-19 has shown a decrease and is flattening (R<1), as an indicator that no new cases have been found, meaning the number of cases;b. Meet the criteria that are comprehensive and holistic in accordance with the standards, operational and procedures issued by WHO, to be a guideline for its implementation by the Government from the center to the regions;c. Prepare the public to be able to enter a new lifestyle (new normal life) by conducting socialization, education and advocacy regarding health protocols with the slogan Four Healthy Five Perfect (always wearing a mask, keeping a healthy distance, always washing hands, exercising regularly/getting enough rest, no Do not panic, eat nutritious, good and lawful food).3. The government increases the social safety net to citizens who need it and increases the number of citizens who receive it;4. Increasing the number of health services to the community in maximizing the health screening of COVID-19 tests and integrated treatment;5. In terms of religious life, areas where the level of spread COVID-19 is not yet under control, then the leniency (rukhshah) for prayer at home remains in effect, referring to the MUI Fatwa No. 14 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Worship in the Situation of the Outbreak COVID-19;6. In the circumstances of the area where the level of spread COVID-19 is under control, religious activities that involve the gathering of many people, such as Friday prayers and prayer congregations, can be carried out while still implementing strict health protocols;7. The Indonesian Ulema Council together with Islamic Mass Organizations and Islamic Philanthropic institutions must continue to play an active role in carrying out a series of efforts and efforts to overcome the pandemic COVID-19 and its impact;8. If the implementation of a new normal lifestyle (new normal life) is still forced at a time when the requirements for control COVID-19 have not been met, then the MUI urges the Government, so that all education activities (Elementary School, Junior High School, High School, Vocational High School, MG, MI, MTs, MA and State and Private Universities) and Islamic Boarding Schools so that they continue to learn from home until the situation is truly under control.
We convey this decree, may Allah SWT provide protection and health for all of us.

Below are some facts regarding the ban on homecoming trips that were compiled by Kompas.com.
1. Toll roads will not be closed
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) Adita Irawati confirmed that neither toll roads nor non-toll roads will be closed. This is to ensure the smooth flow of logistics between regions. “We need to emphasize that there will be no closure of either national highways or toll roads,” said Adita. Furthermore, Adita explained that her party, together with the Police, will be enforcing closures at various locations by establishing checkpoints, in order to prevent people from insisting on going on homecoming trips outside of or into red zones. Meanwhile, Director General of Land Transportation for the Ministry of Transportation Budi Setiyadi said that closures are already in place on various national highways. He stated with confidence that the police are also guarding alternative routes or back roads. “We have established these checkpoints in stages. We have placed them on toll roads, provincial roads, and even back roads at the district level. We therefore ask that the public abandon their plans for homecoming trips,” said Budi. 
2. Jakarta-Cikampek elevated toll closed
Even though it was announced that toll roads would not be closed, PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk has decided to close the Jakarta-Cikampek elevated toll segment starting at 00.00 WIB (Western Indonesian Time) today. Corporate Communication & Community Development Group Head of Jasa Marga Dwimawan Heru stated that this decision is in response to the Police’s request to close the toll segment that is intended for Class I and Class II vehicles.
`Meanwhile, the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road (lower level) will remain operational, but with a number of closures in place,` said Heru. Jasa Marga will also be using VMS (variable message signs) located on the Jabotabek Toll Road, as well as on its social media accounts, to provide information to the public regarding the closure of Jakarta-Cikampek Elevated Toll Road. Heru further stated that Jasa Marga is ready to support the Ministry of Transportation and the Police in implementing the closures at locations on toll roads operated by Jasa Marga. This measure is being taken to ensure that the vehicles that pass through are in accordance with the provisions set forth by the government.3. Requested to turn around
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation Adita Irawati stated that, effective at 00.00 WIB on April 24, 2020, people who insist on pursuing homecoming trips will be asked to return to their point of origin. “In the initial stages of implementation, the government will prioritize persuasive strategies, where in the first phase, from April 24th to May 7th, violators will be directed back to the origin from which they traveled,” she said.
Thereafter, beginning May 7, 2020, the government will impose full penalties and fines on people who still attempt to make homecoming trips. “Until such time as the regulation expires, violators will not only be required to return to the origin of their trip, they will also be subject to penalties in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as fines,” said Adita.
4. Potential fines of up to Rp100 million
Technical Staff to the Minister of Transportation for Law and Bureaucratic Reform, Umar Arif, said that in its implementation in the field, officers manning the checkpoints will refer to Law Number 6 of 2018 regarding Health Quarantine. As such, the penalties applied to people who insist on making homecoming trips after May 7, 2020 will refer to that regulation.
`Since this refers to the law on quarantine, the potential penalty mentioned is a fine of Rp100 million and a prison term of 1 year. That is the potential penalty. The specific implementation has already been detailed. There is also the potential of additional traffic tickets,” said Umar.This article has been published in Kompas.com under the title `Effective Today, Take Note of the Facts regarding the Ban on Eid Homecoming Trips`, https://money.kompas.com/read/2020/04/24/070354826/berlaku-hari-ini-simak-fakta-fakta-soal-larangan-mudik-lebaran?page=all.Author: Rully R.
