Indonesia's President Joko Widodo won’t open the presidential palace for the public during Eid, which is on Sunday, maintaining social distancing guidelines. The tradition ‘open house’ starts with president meeting public for a brief period of time. People can shake hands with him and eat a light meal at the palace. Muslims in the country have also been requested to avoid mass Eid prayers at mosques or open fields.
