Foreign tourists won't be allowed to visit Bali for the rest of 2020 due to coronavirus concerns, AFP reported while quoting the island's governor said, scrapping a plan to open up the Indonesian island from next month.

“The situation in Indonesia is not conducive to allow international tourists to visit Indonesia, including [...] Bali,” the island's governor I Wayan Koster said in an official letter dated Saturday.

“The central government supports [Bali's] plans to recover tourism by opening the doors for international tourists. However, this requires care, prudence, not to be rushed, and requires careful preparation,” it added.

The holiday hotspot re-opened beaches, temples and other tourism spots for domestic visitors at the end of July and had said it would let foreign tourists return on September 11.
