“Neglecting protocols in public areas will result in a USD 7 (IDR 100,000) fine for individuals, and USD 70 (IDR 1 million) for corporates. Made Indra added.
He said that the recuperation of health will be the starting point of economic recovery from this crisis.
The tourism industry in Bali has been impacted most financially, primarily since the central government decided to close the travel corridor to international tourists.
