One consequence is that no one vehicle will be able to enter or exit W Sumatra until the PSBB application is complete.

Thus people who are outside the province but domiciled in W Sumatra will difficult to celebrate Idul Fitri 1441 Hijri in their hometown.
However, Irwan said there would be some leeway for regions that were in the green zone or without a positive case of COVID-19 in the second phase of the PSBB.
