“According to our data, there are 537 expats who have been staying mostly in the Sanur area and they have now received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.” Gede Rai said on Tuesday (15/6).
Gede Rai also said that some of the foreigners have received the second dose of covid-19 already. Majority of the foreigners staying in Denpasar are working on different positions such as teachers and tourism workers. Gede Rai explained that most of them even voluntarily came to the hospital to receive the vaccine. “Some of them received the vaccine at the vaccination sites in the Sanur area, while the others went to the Wangaya Hospital to get it.” Gede Rai added.
Wangaya Hospital has confirmed that they have been distributing the vaccination to the foreign nationals who came themselves to prevent themselves from getting covid-19 while staying in Bali. Denpasar City Government is also holding a steady communication with different consulate generals of several different countries such as South Korea, Japan and India regarding Covid-19 vaccine distribution to their citizens in Bali. “Every expat is required to get permission from their Embassy before receiving the vaccine in Denpasar. Apart from that, we expect the vaccinated expats to promote that Bali will be a safe place to visit once the international travel corridor reopens.” Gede Rai concluded.
