A Russian who tested positive for the coronavirus upon her arrival in Bali last Thursday was recaptured that night after she escaped mandatory isolation at an appointed hotel, said Jamaruli Manihuruk, who heads the Bali regional office for the Law and Human Rights Ministry.
She has been placed in an isolation facility in Bali’s capital, Denpasar, and will be deported as soon as she has recovered from the virus, Manihuruk said.
Three others were accused of defying mask mandates in public after being found unmasked in a raid last Thursday in the Kuta tourist area to enforce health protocols and prevent more infections, he said.
The travellers from the United States, Ireland and Russia were placed in a detention room at the immigration office while waiting for their flights to their countries later on Monday.
