President Jokowi: The Key to Bali's Economic Recovery is the Ability to Overcome the Pandemic

TRIBUNBATAM.id -  President Joko Widodo said the key to Bali's economic recovery was the ability to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Implementing health protocols in various activities is also the key to economic recovery and suppressing the spread of Covid-19 in Bali. 

"The main key to Bali's economic recovery is our ability to handle the pandemic," said Jokowi when giving a speech at the virtual opening of the 43rd Bali Arts Festival (PKB), Saturday (12/6/2021). 

According to Jokowi, in addition to being disciplined in implementing health protocols, vaccination must also be carried out quickly and massively. 

The implementation of micro-scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) in Bali, which is based on traditional villages, must be made effective to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. 

"We show the world, Bali is a very safe tourist destination to visit," he said.

Bali is one of the areas most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

As a result of the pandemic, Bali's economy contracted to 9.3 percent (negative) in 2020.
