Not sure this is really needed in Bali .....

The paranoia madness continous had avoided us this now.

If Bali hopes to open back up for tourism anytime soon they would be wise to play this stage very cautiously. If they can show that their vaccination efforts and precautionary measures kept them from being significantly impacted by the rapidly rising cases in Java it will do much to prove they are prepared to open for international tourism. If they fail, the failure will not be quickly forgotten as countries consider opening green lanes.

Is it really paranoia?
The hospitals in Java are practically all full now and I had my first proper shock this morning en route to work - I pass a small oxygen supplier every morning in mingangkabu. It usually supplies welders. Today there was a queue of about 30 men with medical-type oxygen tanks waiting their turn to fill.

Yet again they are ignoring the fact that Sumatra really is part of Indonesia.

It's definitely getting worse. In the last 10 days alone I know of a dozen people personally who tested positive and 4 people who died very suddenly attributed to Corona.
So whatever this wave is, it's hitting Jakarta hard and fast. People seem genuinely scared now.

Everywhere is deserted.

Going to Bali would be the last place I'd want to visit unless you immediately went up into the Mountains.

I have a wedding to go to in Bali this Saturday and just learned about the PCR requirement a couple days ago. Now I'm good. My brother-in-law left this morning (vacation, not a wedding guest), with 13 other people. His wife said she spent 8 juta to get her family PCR'd. That's 2 nights at a nice hotel

Agreed that in big cities, sure there is a major problem.

Last place I would want to be now is Jakarta or Surabaya ....
Kuta, Seminyak, are completely deserted, most businesses locked / boarded up. Very little risk to meet anybody in the street, you would be safe !

Well yes but depending on your age and reason to be in Bali. Most of my age are there to go to ShiShi and exchange bodily fluids with influencers and digital nobrains

Granted the shops and streets are empty but the bars and clubs are over flowing with Russia's finest

I doubt it. We were in Bali in May and the normally packed Da Maria bar and resto only had 6 other diners.

Bali is a quiet place these days ,the beaches are deserted plenty of social distancing ,as long as I cant catch this plague from the beautiful reef fish while I snorkel a couple of times a week ,I reckon im pretty safe .

The big cities in java ,thats another story .

You will need a vaccine certificate (at least 1 shot) to travel during the increased tightening of mobility in Java-Bali, in addition to a negative PCR test (air travel), or a negative PCR or antigen test (sea, land). This period is from July 3rd to July 20th, and may be extended as necessary.

I was supposed to go to Bali this Monday (wife had purchased tickets, hotels, etc last month) and she decided to just cancel and reschedule....no point of going if every place is closed. Was looking forward to do a bit of wine tasting tour, but they responded that they 'might' close based on the government's direction...

I guess I can always do my own 'tasting' at home....

 

[SamR]

I'm of the opinion that stronger measures could be put in place but hoping that the steps taken will help as the PPKM. It's very panic-inducing to see and hear people in my wife and I's familial and social networks becoming positive in the last 2 weeks.

I'm wondering why ferries are exempted from the "must produce proof of vaccination or have at least been vaccinated once" rule?

I just came to Bali by car. Antigen test, not much control nor people in the ferry. I heard that some official data by Bali immigration mentioned 20.000 people on KITAS and KITAP and 80.000 on Sosbud visas, most of them US and Russian citizens.
Missed the capsized ferry, came 3 hours after its sinking to Banywangi.
