MATARAM - The Head of Health Handling of the COVID-19 Task Force Alexander Kaliaga Ginting said that the selfies taken in open spaces by a number of MotoGP racers in Mandalika, Lombok, were carried out in the quarantine bubble area.

"As far as I know, they are in bubble quarantine. As long as the bubbles don't burst, they will continue to be bubbled for up to five days," said Alexander Kaliaga Ginting, confirmed by Antara by telephone in Jakarta, Thursday, February 10.

Alexander said the selfies of the riders were in the environment around the inn which is also included in the quarantine zone area. "It seems that their selfie spot is on the beach around the Novotel hotel which is also a quarantine zone from front to side," he said.

Alexander said the bubble concept in principle prevents the interaction of the Mandalika MotoGP participants with the surrounding community.

"The bubble is in one bubble 'stick in together'. Those who are in it must have been vaccinated, PCR with negative results, clinical reports are good and together, the bubbles must not burst," he said.

Alexander added that bubble travel operators have limited space for movement in areas that have been determined based on the Task Force Circular Number 5 of 2022 concerning the Health Protocol for the Bubble System for Mandalika MotoGP Activities during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

"Bubble starts from the airport to the hotel, to the circuit and then back to the hotel, every day it is tested either by rapid or PCR," he said.

The implementation of the bubble system at the Mandalika Circuit drew comments from various netizens because many MotoGP racers wandered to enjoy the scenery around the hotel where they were staying.

A number of netizens in the comments column on the photo post are worried about the interaction of racers wandering around with the surrounding community because they have the potential to transmit the Corona virus.

Meanwhile, the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP test will last for three days. The test will be held at the Mandalika Circuit, on 11-13 February 2022.
