JAKARTA - The Bali Provincial Civil Service Police Unit reminded tourist attraction managers (DTW) to remain disciplined in implementing health protocols, even though the COVID-19 case had been sloping and the local area had PPKM (Community Activity Restrictions) level 2 status.

"We take turns patrolling every day to DTW throughout Bali so that DTW managers don't ignore health protocols", said Bali Provincial Civil Service Police Unit Head, I Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi, in Denpasar, reported by Antara, Sunday, November 14.

Based on the patrols carried out, his party saw that so far the monitoring carried out by the DTW management on the activities of the visitors to remain obedient to the prokes was quite good.

"Including various tourist objects, the PeduliLindungi application has been implemented for visitors who will enter the place", said the bureaucrat who is also the Head of National Unity Body, Politics, Bali Province.

According to him, in the midst of increasing tourist arrivals from the archipelago which is a "fresh breath" for Bali tourism, we must together keep it safe and comfortable from COVID-19.

"In principle, we must always keep Bali conducive, safe, and comfortable as a tourist destination because most of our people live from the tourism sector", he said.

The discipline of implementing health protocols, he said, must be realized together and not only depend on the COVID-19 Handling Task Force.

"We hope that by sloping down the case, there will not be excessive euphoria because the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate", said the bureaucrat from Nusa Penida, Klungkung Regency.

Regarding the increase in domestic tourist visits to the Island of the Gods, his party believes there will not be much "distraction" from the spread of COVID-19 because the entry requirements for Bali are also strict.

"Especially those who enter through the airport. Bali is relatively easier to monitor because the air and sea gates are controlled. It's just that people don't think it's safe. But everyone must be vigilant", said I Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi.

As of November 13, 2021, there have been 196 active cases or positive COVID-19 patients who are still being treated in Bali Province. In the last few days, the addition of daily cases has also reached single digits.
