english.jpnn.com, JAKARTA - The music industry is one of the sectors of the creative economy that is most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Organizing music concerts, apart from being a means of actualization for art workers, is also an economic source for them and other poeple involved.

Director of Music, Film and Animation of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Mohammad Amin, said that his institution continued to coordinate with other ministries and institutions regarding the rules of organizing concerts as the pandemic situation improved.
"For our ministry, the guidelines are CHSE (cleanliness, health, safety, and environmental sustainability)," he said in an online forum on Tuesday (19/10).

There are also several other rules, such as requiring an antigen test or PCR, avoiding physical interaction with performers, and preventing audience participation on stage.
In addition, performers must use personal instruments that have been disinfected.
His institution can only provide event recommendations, not permits.
"The ministry can provide recommendations, but for area permits, it depends on the regional government. It depends on the [Covid-19] status of the area," said Amin.
Concerts can also be held by making a number of improvisations. For example, permission might likely to be granted if concerts are to be held at super priority tourist destinations such as Labuan Bajo, Mandalika, Lake Toba, and Borobudur Temple, without spectators.
"Even without an audience, it can still be phenomenal because the idea that it takes place at an important tourist destination is interesting," he said.
Chairman of the behavior change division of the Covid-19 task force, Sonny Harry B Harmadi, said the main goal of reopening the creative industry was to help restore community productivity and maintain economic growth.
"There is a transition process in it, which is an emergency transition to recovery, but it has to do with the adaptation of new habits. All parties must strictly comply with the procedures and implement them safely," said Sonny. (cuy/mcr20/jpnn)
