The Health Ministry’s disease control and environmental health directorate general secretary, Achmad Yurianto, said on Thursday (Feb 13) that the patient could have been infected in Shanghai after he returned from Bali and reiterated that Bali had yet to detect any positive coronavirus cases. Therefore, Bali’s condition was “insufficient to infect people”.
