As Indonesia facing a fresh rise of COVID-19 cases, a TikTok video showing huge lineups at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport should raise our collective eyebrows, but an airport official is optimistic for even more arrivals; as long as health regulations are followed, of course.


The footage, which was shot only yesterday, showed people creating lineups to check in for flights at Ngurah Rai Airport.


Taufan Yudhistira, spokesman for Ngurah Rai, told Kumparan today that Bali has experienced a surge in both departures and arrivals over the weekend.


According to reports, around 7,000 people arrived in Bali yesterday, while over 8,000 flew out of the province.


“We expect to see an increase in passengers in the future.” Noting that all passengers must follow health regulations, wash their hands often, and wear their masks correctly,” Taufan added.


Taufan said that the airport had an 80 percent increase in passenger traffic in June compared to May, and that he expects a continuous flow of travelers for the rest of the month.
