Bali: The Bali Tourism Agency organised a mass prayer amid a fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak originating from China, which has taken a toll on the famous resort island’s tourism industry.
Officials from the agency alongside those working in the tourism sector held the prayer on Friday morning at Pura Candi Narmada, a Hindu temple in Kuta, Badung regency.
Bali Tourism Agency head Putu Astawa said that the group prayed together to ask that Bali remain safe from the coronavirus outbreak, which as of Friday had killed 259 in China and infected nearly 10,000 globally.
