“The bed occupancy rate in Bali province has increased to 64 percent as of July 13,” Health Ministry spokeswoman Siti Nadia Tarmizi said during a press conference last night.
On June 29, Bali’s bed occupancy rate was at around 29 percent. It rose to 48 percent as of July 6, and currently stands at 64.41 percent.
