Considering the Profit and Loss, the Cinema is Forced to be Opened July 29th

News24xx.com - Corona cases in Indonesia continue to increase even often breaking new records every day. On the other hand, the cinema is planned to open July 29. This policy raises the pros and cons.
Trisakti University Public Policy Analyst, Trubus Rahardiansyah said the plan to open a cinema in the near future was not right. Even considered dangerous even though it will implement health protocols.

"In my opinion not right. So if opened on the 29th in this COVID position is still very high, I think it will be dangerous even though it still implements health protocols. In my opinion not yet," Trubus told AFP on Sunday (12 July 2020).

Especially now that new clusters are emerging that have unexpectedly emerged, such as in the Army Prospective Officers' School (Secapa AD), Bandung. With the opening of the cinema, it is not impossible that there will be a new cluster in the cinema.

"Right now new clusters continue to appear. Clusters What is the last, there are gymnastics clusters, there are market clusters, there are prison clusters, there are celebration clusters. I hope there will be no cinema clusters," he hoped.

While Deputy Chairperson of the Central Management Board (DPP) of the Indonesian Shopping Center Management Association (APPBI), Alphonzus Widjaja said that the determination of cinema operations is determined by each Regional Government (Pemda). If the local government has allowed it, it means that opening the activity is considered appropriate because it has been considered.

"Before making a decision (about cinema), the Regional Government must have considered various aspects and the main consideration is the level of the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak," he said.

Opening the cinema is considered to be a difficult choice. On the one hand, the government wants economic activity to be opened but on the other hand it wants the Corona spread to be suppressed. For this reason, cinema entrepreneurs must be disciplined in implementing health protocols so that there are no new cases when they operate later.

"I think this is indeed not ideal but it must be done. Cinema entrepreneurs must really be disciplined in implementing the health protocol," said Research Director of the Center for Reform on Economics (CORE) Indonesia, Piter Abdullah told AFP on Sunday (12 July 2020).

In addition, if the cinema is not opened in the near future employees will be increasingly unemployed and cinema entrepreneurs will shout because the longer the losers.

To reduce unemployment for cinema employees, Trubus said employees could switch to finding another job to make money temporarily. Employees can open small businesses for food and drinks, to medical devices.

In addition, the government must quickly deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. One of them is by delaying the opening of places that cause a crowd until a new case actually goes down.
