Bali Governor Wayan has underlined the priority of the provincial government’s decision to first and foremost focus on containing the coronavirus pandemic.

The Balinese provincial government does not find reopening the island a light decision despite the island’s dependence on tourism.

“Let’s not rush in our decision to reopen our tourism sector,” said Wayan on June 15.

Wayan has taken a more cautious approach to restart tourism activities as he hopes to prevent a second wave of coronavirus infections.

He has asked local communities to remain patient amid the given circumstances and to allow the provincial government to properly contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Data from the National Covid-19 Task Force on June 17 shows that Bali has 782 confirmed Covid-19 cases, including 510 patients who have recovered as well as 6 deaths.
