Bali Awaits a Decline in COVID-19 Cases

With the continuing help of COVID-19 number-cruncher Jackie Pomeroy, Bali Update is tracking the ongoing surge in coronavirus cases in Bali dating from early July.

The latest update on new cases of COVID-19 and deaths through 14 August 2021 ends on a curious note, with the number of new cases reported for the final day of the recap (14 August) showing a sudden dip. Is this the promised beginning of the turn-around and a decline in new cases, or merely a one-day statistical anomaly? The answer to this crucial question will only become apparent in our next update that will show new cases from 15 August and beyond.

Despite the yet-to-be-explained downturn on 14 August, the accompanying graphs fail to demonstrate that the intensive inoculation program and the restrictions on public activities now underway in Bali have hit the “pivot point” that will send the number of new cases and deaths in a steady southerly trend.

Over the past month, the number of new COVID cases in Bali has increased steadily since 05 July. The raw data, shown below, presents new COVID-19 cases from 05 July – 14 August. Starting from 12 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.

Alarmed at escalating infection rates, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investment, together with the Governor of Bali, earnestly assure limitations on public movements and intensive inoculation programs will see a decline in new cases in Bali during the mid-August period.
