claims of 20% of of reduced residents mobility in denpasar by mayor

Officials from the Denpasar municipal administration have alleged that the emergency partial lockdown has substantially limited the movement of Denpasar citizens.

Denpasar Mayor IGN Jaya Negara stated that Denpasar citizens' movement has been limited by 20% since Bali's emergency partial lockdown was enforced. “This implementation has substantially limited people's movement in Denpasar city, particularly with the 8:00 p.m. curfew policy.” On Wednesday (14/7), Jaya Negara stated.

Based on this accomplishment, Jaya Negara expects that the central government will reconsider their proposal to prolong the emergency partial lockdown in Bali and Java, which is set to expire on July 20th, 2021. “We hope and pray that Covid-19 broadcasts will be handled effectively throughout this implementation, so that the central government would abandon their intention to continue this emergency partial lockdown for several weeks.” Jaya Negara elaborated.

Meanwhile the Spokesman of the Denpasar Covid-19 Handling Task Force, I Dewa Gede Rai said that officials have secured several road accesses such as Jalan Ahmad Yani Utara, Jalan Nangka Utara, Jalan Seroja, Jalan Trengguli Penatih, Jalan Gunung Sanghyang, Jalan Gatsu Barat, Jalan Teuku Umar, Jalan Gunung Salak, Jalan Kunti, Jalan Tohpati and Jalan Sunset Road in order to restrict the city border from people from other regions during the emergency partial lockdown.

“In order to obtain admission into Denpasar city during the emergency partial lockdown, anyone from outside Denpasar must produce Covid-19 vaccination cards, a negative result from quick antigen testing, or an official working letter.” Gede Rai concluded.
