Kapanlagi.com - Maia Estianty strongly supports the government's regulation to prohibit people from going home for Eid during this corona pandemic.

"I totally agree. Because we never know who we are fighting against, an invisible enemy. So instead of infecting people in the village and all, it's better not to go home," said Maia Estianty when contacted recently.

Although her parents still live in Surabaya, Maia Estianty revealed that she rarely goes home. "If I happen to rarely go home, only once with the children. But because of this covid-19, I strongly agree with the government's decision to prohibit going home," she said.

1. Gathering Can Be Anytime

Maia Estianty also doesn't feel sad because she can't go home. According to her, gathering with family can be done anytime and not just during Eid.

"I'm never sad (not going home). It's okay for me to go or not go. There's no difference. According to us, gathering doesn't have to be on Eid. Eid or non-Eid is the same. The essence is gathering. Whether it's in December, August, September, it doesn't have to be on Eid," said Irwan Mussry's wife.

2. Utilize Technology

In this social distancing situation, Maia Estianty also utilizes the available technology to communicate with her family and friends. This can also be done during Eid.

"Especially now, technology allows video calls, as long as the credit is sufficient to pay for the internet, hehe. Or if we have free wifi. We can call each other, see each other's faces. So there's no need to physically meet," she concluded.
