Multiple people in Denpasar have been fined for refusing to wear a facemask after receiving their Covid-19 vaccine.
The Head of the Denpasar Public Civil Service, Dewa Sayoga confirmed that several residents were fined for refusing to wear a facemask during an operation that was conducted in front of the Poh Gading traditional market, located on Jalan Kertanegara, Ubung Kaja Village Denpasar Monday (8/11). “All of the offenders were fined for not wearing facemasks in public areas. Some of them who have received the vaccine even admitted to intentionally refusing to wear one.” Sayoga said.
During the operation, authorities fined a total of 27 residents, including those who rode their vehicles without complying with prevention protocols. “From a total of 27 offenders, 12 of them were given warnings for not wearing facemasks properly while the other 15 were fined USD 7 (IDR 100,000),” Sayoga added.
Sayoga admitted that the compliance rate of wearing facemasks in Denpasar has recently reduced as Covid-19 transmissions have significantly dropped in the last several months. “Despite the reduction in Covid-19 transmissions, I still urge everyone to keep complying with the government’s instructions and stop using classic excuses with the authorities to try to justify violations,” Sayoga concluded.

Wearing a mask may stop the aerosol transmission of the virus. Are you all gonna ask strangers in public whether they have been vaccinated or not...so wear a mask outdoors or indoors unless you are eating in a public space.
Science works for those who are intelligent enough to understand how the virus can mutate. That's all.

@Mat, Martina. it's terrifying how much misinformation and disinformation being spouted as if it's a "fact" by you both...

@Anderson, What is even more terrifying, that people take what is on the various social medias as biblical. One doesn’t need much a brain to read the multitude of stuff from research institutes from all over the world. All one needs is the ability to read.

Good luck getting tourists to come to Bali with idiotic rules like wearing a mask out in public after being vaxxed and with no symptoms of being sick. Ridiculous.

@Randy, Listen to you, you haven't a clue. Read your idiotic, lazy thinking posts. Masks don't protect you from airborne viruses, natural immunity is a real thing and vaccines are a personal health choice and especially none of your business.
Tell you what professor, on the masks there is no standard of material required, they can be made out of anything. Also, geniuses like you I bet don't changed every 2 hours as recommended.
Now don't you feel embarrassed? Run along.

Do you need to wear a mask outside? If so, that is stupid. I haven't heard of one person catching Coronavirus outside.

@Ellen, So wear a mask if you want, get vaccinated. Why do you people want to get into everybody else's health decisions.
If you get vaccinated, wear your life-saving mask and social distance then you're good and on the bright side all those people that don't and you don't know and really don't care about will die. So a win-win for you covid rangers.

@Daniel, Outside is the least likely place to catch a virus. Why do you think winter is called the flu season? Because people stay inside more. You and Randy should get a room. You both have about the same IQ.

The jab appears to be giving ppl th virus. NOT Korona. Therefore mask-wearing isn't going to do anything but give a false impression that the 'disease' is still around. Fining indigenous ppl is cruel at a time when they have no or little customers. Have a heart!

@Martina, don’t believe FB so called experts that type of false information creates hysteria and violence the jab is necessary to control the spread it will continue to save lives of those who contract but even then can pass it on to the unvaccinated unfortunately so vigilance must continue for all friends and family unless you believe that’s it’s a conspiracy to end all conspiracies and the human race is getting culled with a global connection unknown to exist please only check facts
