On the sidelines of the opening that he initiated, he explained briefly how the development of the COVID-19 virus, which currently has a new variant and a positive increase in society, spiked in the middle of July 2021. He said “The spike was in the middle of July 2021, to be precise as of July 23 2021 it has reached 1407, and cases of death due to being positive for Covid-19 amounted to 32 people. “The recovery rate is good at the moment, only the daily rate of positive COVID-19 cases is also increasing.”
It is hoped that all officials/apparatus in Bali in particular will immediately carry out vaccinations, centralized isolation, or implement the health protocols that have been created by the central government and of course, distribute the needs of patients who are centrally isolated or who are positive for Covid-19. The public is also expected to continue to comply with existing or newly issued regulations. Without the cooperation of the community and officials, it will be difficult for this pandemic to subside.
