Stopping Reckless ‘Mudik’ Travelers

If there is no mudik ban, in May as many as 83 million people (33 percent) will return home for Lebaran nationally. Especially from the Greater Jakarta area, there will be as many as 10.3 million people.

The Idul Fitri tradition of mudik (exodus) occurring during the Covid-19 pandemic is a sociocultural phenomenon that poses a health risk.

Traveling home for mudik is an annual tradition, and traditions are evolutive or difficult to change, as stated by Williamson (2000), a figure of new institutional economics, with its 4-Level Analysis.
