Jackie Pomeroy, who religiously compiles daily updates on the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, assists Bali Update and Balidiscovery.com in tracking the rate of new infections on the Island.

Over the past three weeks, the number of new COVID cases in Bali has increased steadily since 05 July. The raw data below shown below presents new COVID-19 cases 05-24 July. For the period 12 – 24 July 2021, the number of daily cases recorded in Bali’s capital city of Denpasar (DPS) and the southern regency of Badung are also shown.

For the second time, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo extended the PPKM Lockdown period to remain in force until 02 August. Officials in Bali and Jakarta have said that any eventual decision to end or ease the continuing lockdown will be predicated on the availability of beds in hospitals available to COVID-19 patients, the ability of local officials to achieve high levels of community vaccination, and if the number of new infections indicating signs of abating.

“Now this is not the end. It is not even at the beginning of the end. But is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
