Bali officials have confirmed that Covid-19 transmissions on the island have been significantly reduced as the Covid-19 vaccine gets distributed to the residents.
The Secretary of the Bali Covid-19 Handling Task Force, Made Rentin confirmed that the current active Covid-19 case is below 1% of the total population in Bali. “We have good news, the active Covid-19 cases in Bali is 406 (0,85%) as of Sunday (13/6), which means it’s below 1% of our total population on the island.” Rentin said on Sunday morning (13/6).
He also explained that almost three million of Bali residents have received the Covid-19 vaccine. “A total of 2,958,350 Bali residents have received the Covid-19 vaccine, and that number is a combination between the people who have received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine and those who have completed the second dose of vaccination.” Rentin added. He also said that the province of Bali still has enough vaccine supply to complete the vaccination program before reopening the international travel corridor in the near future.

Meanwhile, the Spokesman of Denpasar Covid-19 Handling Task Force, I Dewa Gede Rai admitted that this achievement is a result of the people’s compliance with the prevention protocols and the rapid distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine in Denpasar and other regions of Bali. He also reminds people to keep supporting the vaccination program in order to achieve herd immunity before finally reopening the border to revive Bali economy from the crisis caused by the pandemic.
