Another surge in Covid-19 cases on the island has led to the Bali Governer, Mr Koster stating that he wants all the tourist attractions closed again. There’s a good chance the island may once again be placed under strict lock down.
At a Covid-19 meeting in Jaya Saba the Governer stated ‘We’ve been observing over the last few weeks that the local transmission is spiking and the mortality rate from Covid-19 is increasing. I’m considering closing all tourist attractions like I did previously.’
In a statement last month Mr Koster said: ‘Bali cannot fail because it could adversely impact the image of Indonesia, including Bali, in the eyes of the world, which could prove counter-productive to the recovery of travel.’
