The Bali provincial administration is preparing to welcome foreign visitors in September following months of international travel restrictions because of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.Bali Governor I Wayan Koster has announced a three-step plan to reopen activity in compliance with “new normal” policies. The approach entails reopening the region’s popular tourist destinations to international visitors on Sept. 11.Local tourists will be able to visit the island’s famous vacation spots starting on Jul. 9, Koster said. “To that end, we must surrender ourselves and pray so that we will be graced [with good fortune],” he said after participating in a local religious ceremony on Sunday, as quoted by tribunnews.com.Koster said on Thursday that he had closed tourist destinations in Bali until further notice through a regulation.However, the regulation did not stop several regions from reopening access to popular beaches, including Canggu Beach and Labuan Sait Beach in Badung regency, to foreign surfers.Tourism in Bali has been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of foreign tourist arrivals fell to nearly zero in the weeks following the first reported coronavirus cases in the country.As of Sunday, Bali had confirmed 1,849 COVID-19 cases and 20 deaths linked to the illness.Topics :

Loading… Speaking after the North Londoners’ 2-1 FA Cup third round replay victory over Middlesbrough, Mourinho made his thoughts on Erisken clear. Asked about the playmaker’s conduct amid continuing speculation linking him with a move to Inter, Mourinho said: “Christian played very well. “Very professional. What I expect from him. “If his decision is to leave, he has to leave with his head up. Fans have always to respect.” On the win over Middlesbrough, Mourinho added: “3-0 was so close so many times. I told my players at half time if we don’t score 3-0 then if 2-1 we would be in trouble and it happened. “We knew the opponents were hard. They brought on Gestede and went direct and made problems and when it was 2-1 we knew it was going to be difficult. “We tried our best, the boys are trying their best. They dealt well with many set piece situations. “We did lots of things well, we conceded the goal, a bit frustrating, but more frustrating was that we did not score three, four or five.” “In this moment [the FA Cup] is not the priority. The priority is to play a difficult match against Watford in the Premier League. “When Southampton comes it will be the priority.” One tweeted: “Really appreciate what he done for us, but he has to go. He has gotten so bad.” Spurs fans online reacted in mixed fashion to their manager’s comments about Eriksen. Another added: “Shame he has declined so much.

Although Pasadilla was unable to provide theactual count, he said the buffer stock of blood is limited. ILOILO City – About 90 percent of thePhilippine Red Cross’ Western Visayas blood donation activities had been calledoff due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, according to Dr.Dennise Roy Pasadilla, manager of Red Cross’ West Visayas Regional BloodCenter. “Our office supposedly collects blood everyday but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, only our skeletal force renders duty.What we do is we ask blood donations from towns without positive cases ofCOVID-19 and have zero person under monitoring,” said Pasadilla. The Philippine Red Cross in Western Visayas is appealing for more blood donations. Many bloodletting activities have been called off due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, thereby adversely affecting the supply of blood at the West Visayas Regional Blood Center. PN PHOTO Pasadilla said the guidelines would alsoidentify the age of the donor and the laboratory tests he/she should undergobefore the extraction of blood. “We are willing to accept if we haveguidelines but so far, we have no donor and no request,” said Pasadilla. (PNA/PN) Meanwhile, Pasadilla said the Red Cross hereis open to blood donations from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. The RTMDH has also committed to send five ormore staff members every weekday to donate blood. The recovered patients included a 22-year-oldwoman and a 65-year-old man from Iloilo province; a 61-year-old woman from thiscity; a 56-year-old man and a 28-year-old man from Bacolod City; a 45-year-oldman from Capiz province; and a 41-year-old woman from Negros Occidentalprovince. “We use the machine in getting blood plateletbut we can reconfigure that to get plasma,” Pasadilla said.
The machine at the West Visayas Regional BloodCenter is the same as that being used at the Philippine General Hospital. As of April 19, Western Visayas had 49confirmed cases of COVID-19. Of these, eight recovered while seven died. “We are waiting for the guidelines from thenational headquarters because we have a machine here that is capable of doingthe procedure,” said Dr. Dennise Roy Pasadilla, manager of Red Cross’ WestVisayas Regional Blood Center. The doctor called on volunteers from Iloilodistrict hospitals to sustain their blood supply. The guidelines will lay down who would carryout the procedure, where to perform it, and the billing terms, among others. During a meeting with the Inter-Agency TaskForce for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) on April 9,President Rodrigo Duterte urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 todonate blood following studies showing that their antibodies may help improvethe condition of patients with severe symptoms. The Ramon Tabiana Memorial District Hospital(RTMDH) in Cabatuan, Iloilo was first to heed the call. Pasadilla said it has already sent the firstbatch of its blood donors, who are also hospital personnel.
