According to Bali officials, each holiday has seen an increase in Covid-19 cases.
Secretary of the Bali Covid-19 Task Force, Made Rentin, said the curfew was implemented because crowds of people often occur at night.
The curfew has been implemented to help reduce the spread of infection as residents look to ring in the New Year on the island.

Yesterday the Provincial Government also made the announcement that access to Bali’s Beaches will be banned for New Years Eve.
