Officials in Bali are taking additional measures for health checks on tourists arriving on the island, following an outbreak of childhood pneumonia in China and the emergence of a new virus causing it. In particular, the airport plans to actively identify potentially ill people, and foreigners with pneumonia symptoms will be sent to clinics for examination. Isolation facilities are being prepared for patients with infectious diseases. Local medical workers have been informed of the risks of the new respiratory virus, although the authorities are not currently considering a ban on tourists entering Indonesia from China.
