DENPASAR - Bali Governor Wayan Koster said one Indonesian citizen who was on the Garuda flight from Narita, Japan to the Island of the Gods was exposed to COVID-19.

"One positive Indonesian citizen was immediately quarantined," said Koster in Denpasar, Tuesday, February 8.

Garuda Indonesia aircraft GA 811 flying from Narita, Japan, arrived at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali on February 3.

Director of Services and Commerce of PT Garuda Indonesia Ade R. Susardi said a total of 12 passengers on the Garuda Indonesia GA 811 aircraft. Among them are 6 Indonesian Citizens (WNI) and 6 Foreign Citizens (WNA) from Japan.

"So the six Japanese are agents from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. So the Japanese are selling about Indonesia there. From travel agents and representatives," said Susardi, Thursday, February 3.

Garuda airline for international flights is actually still serving international flights but only for cargo.

"We still regularly fly with cargo. At this time, we may also see that in Japan the quarantine is still one week, in Indonesia it is still one week. But as of tomorrow it will be five days. The process is like this, the convenience is like this," he said.
