DENPASAR - As many as 20 residents in Dauh Puri Kaja Village, North Denpasar, Bali, were positively exposed to COVID-19. The area is closed to anticipate transmission from today until July 5 with strict security from local pecalang.

"The 20 positive people were taken to a halfway house to undergo self-isolation," said I Gusti Ketut Sucipta, Head of the Dauh Puri Kaja Village Headquarters in Denpasar, quoted by Antara, Thursday, July 1.

Sucipta said that he had coordinated with the Denpasar City COVID-19 Task Force and asked to be isolated in a halfway house, while residents who were negative continued to self-isolate.

"For those who are self-isolating, his party has also coordinated with the Social Service regarding their needs," he said.

Terunasari Hamlet will also provide assistance for residents who are self-isolating. Prior to this spike in cases, Dauh Puri Kaja Village was in the green zone.

"Since June 4, we have actually been in the green zone," he said.

Meanwhile, one of the pecalang Banjar Terunasari Service, Abdul Gofur, said that this positive chronology of residents started with two local natives traveling outside Bali, to be precise in Depok, West Java.

When they arrived, they were picked up by their neighbors, an online driver, but when they arrived in Bali, both of them were sick. After that, he went to the health center and had a PCR swab test, which turned out to be positive.

Both were asked to self-isolate and are currently recovering. "This driver stays and also interacts with several local residents," he said.

The problem, said Perbekel Sucipta, was that the online driver was also sick after a few days, then a PCR swab test was carried out and it turned out to be positive for COVID-19.

Some of his boarding house neighbors and local residents are also sick and have symptoms. At the initiative of the Terunasari Hamlet/Banjar Head, swab was finally carried out for 43 residents on June 29, 2021.

"The PCR swab test was held at the Banjar Teruna Sari Hall. From the swab, Wednesday (30/6) the results came out, 19 people were tested positive, so the driver added to 20. While the two people whose initial source had recovered, he said.

With these conditions, his party also closed access to the area until July 5, 2021 with tight security from pecalang and coordination with the village and the COVID-19 Task Force.
