Next is the limitation in hajj pilgrims quota from 30 to 50 per cent that will be set based on the health protocol. The final plan is that the hajj pilgrimage will be cancelled again if Saudi Government closes the access.

Nizar iterated that the 2020 Hajj period was cancelled as the Indonesian Government considered the safety and security of the pilgrims during the Covid-19 pandemic.
