The decision to re-open came after co-ordinating with the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, as the cultural landmarks have been closed for a while now due to COVID-19. Strict measures have been put into place for those who would like to visit the landmark, such as adding thermal cameras, controlling the capacity, and keeping a safe social distance of at least two metres.
