Bali says foreign tourists will be allowed to return by September as the Indonesian holiday island scrambles to repair its crippled vacation sector even as coronavirus cases mount, AFP reported.

The island will reopen beaches, temples and other tourism spots for domestic visitors by the end of July, the governor said, and welcome foreign holidaymakers from September 11.

“We must continue to make the best efforts to handle Covid-19, while at the same time we must begin to carry out activities for the sake of community life,” said Bali Governor Wayan Koster.
