JAKARTA - The TNI-Polri ranks and the COVID-19 Handling Task Force will tighten vaccination checks and RT-PCR tests for foreign tourists who come to Bali. This was conveyed by the National Police Chief Gen. Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo together with the TNI Commander Marshal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto in Bali.

Sigit and TNI Commander Marshal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto reminded the TNI-Polri ranks not to miss the SOP for accepting foreign tourists on the Island of the Gods.

Sigit said the TNI-Polri must ensure that foreign tourists who come are checked for vaccinations, RT-PCR test certificates, and further checks to ensure that foreign tourists are negative for COVID-19, until they go to the quarantine location prepared.

"In general, the preparation is quite good. However, there are improvements as well as corrections and evaluations to ensure that everything reported and we visit goes well. In particular, several places of mutual concern are in the area used for waiting. One hour PCR process, please all the task forces involved, Please, Mr. Governor, check again. We have to make sure the PCR test is as expected," said Sigit, quoted in a written statement from the Police Public Relations Division, Saturday, October 23.

Regarding the readiness at the quarantine location hotel. Sigit emphasized that the five-day quarantine process should be carried out according to the rules. In addition, hotel managers must ensure that foreign tourists do not experience boredom while undergoing isolation.

"Furthermore, regarding the area used for quarantine, make sure that the public or visiting tourists carry out the rules related to the five-day provision. This causes saturation and we must think about how in the area used for quarantine there are several activities that can be given to eliminate boredom," said Sigit .

Sigit hopes that the readiness of receiving foreign tourists in Bali can go well. Given that the Island of the Gods will hold several international events in the future, it must be proven that Indonesia is able to carry out national or international agendas while still paying attention to health factors.
