Governor Koster claims Bali is entering COVID-19 endemic phase Koster said during a meeting at the Bali Regional Council today.
Bali Governor Wayan Koster said earlier today that the Island of Gods is witnessing a shift in phases from a pandemic to an endemic based on recent COVID-19 cases and vaccination rates. “Seeing curve patterns from 2020 and 2021 and currently 2022, I think from the development aspect between past patterns and existing curves, we are actually entering the endemic phase,”
Koster met with legislators to discuss the 2021 accountability report (LKPJ) and shared his thoughts on the current COVID-19 situation. The top official later conceded that, at the end of the day, the official statement on whether Bali has entered an endemic phase would have to refer to a declaration from the World Health Organization (WHO). “But I think Bali is already in that phase. So [it’s] safe,” he added. In his report, Koster said that the province recorded 40 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, while 30 people recovered and, thankfully, no death was reported. The highest recent daily infections rate fell on Feb. 9 with 2,556

new cases that day, but numbers have continued to decline since. Koster added that Bali has administered booster shots to 50.3 percent of its population – the highest in Indonesia, he noted – while the first dosage coverage is at 104 percent and 95 percent for the second dosage. “Even now with international tourists able to enter Bali without quarantine and by using visas on arrivals, there has been no increase in COVID-19 cases. So we may continue the policy,” he said, referring to the 42 nationalities eligible for visas on arrival and the recentlyintroduced no-quarantine policy for Bali visitors. (coconuts.co)

Hoteliers Urge Free Visas for ASEAN Nations Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao PDR, and The Philippines.
The Bali Chapter of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI-Bali) urges the government to reintroduce visa-free visits for citizens of all ASEAN countries. ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is a political and economic alliance comprised of 10 Southeast Asian Nations: Indonesia,
As reported by NusaBali.com, PHRIBali’s leadership says that granting a visa-free facility for the citizens of ASEAN nations would bolster average hotel occupancies on the island to 40%. The Deputy-chairman for Culture, Environment, and Public Relations for PHRI-Bali, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Suryawijaya, speaking on Tuesday, 29 March 2022, with CNNIndonesia.com, said: “We are suggesting visa-free status (for ASEAN citizens), as has existed in the past. In 2019 with a visa-free facility for ASEAN citizens, 14 million people came to Indonesia, including 6.3 million ASEAN travelers to Bali.” Indonesia recently announced a list of 42 nations eligible to receive a visa-on-

arrival in Indonesia. That list included the nine remaining ASEAN nations who can now receive a 30-day visa-onarrival after paying a US$35 visa fee. PHRI-Bali wants these nations to be issued visas without charge. Suryawijaya said the PHRIBali recommends free visas for citizens of ASEAN member countries. This recommendation will be handed to Moeldoko, who serves as Chief of Staff for President Joko Widodo. Suryawijaya told the press: “Several days ago, Moeldoko suggested (during a trip to Bali) that ASEAN member nations should be granted free visas. His recommendation was made because other members of ASEAN have opened their borders, and we are doing the same.” (balidiscovery.com)
