The COVID-19 pandemic has created a fertile ground for conspiracy theories to flourish, so much so that we’re seeing well-known figures here in Indonesia taking it upon themselves to echo these questionable ideas on their massive platforms.

Officials from the Muntigunung traditional village (desa adat) in Bali’s Karangasem regency are reportedly investigating a case of incestuous rape, in which a 46-year-old man allegedly impregnated his 19-year-old daughter.

According to a report from Kompas, the incident occurred back in 2015 and the daughter, identified by her initials NNG, gave birth to a child in 2016.

Police in Bali have reportedly charged a man for organizing a ngaben (traditional Balinese cremation ritual) ceremony in Buleleng regency last Friday, after the event ignored social distancing advisories and drew crowds amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Bali provincial government placed a village in Bangli regency on lockdown over the weekend, following results of rapid tests indicating that hundreds of residents may have been infected with the coronavirus.

A Russian family was deported from Indonesia on Sunday, following viral videos showing them busking at a local market in Lombok that officials say violated their visa status.

“We’re giving them a leeway because we’re in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A 50-year-old patient who tested positive for the coronavirus escaped from the Praya General Hospital in Lombok earlier this week. He reportedly walked 10 kilometers to reach his home and even stopped at a local mosque to perform the dawn prayer, before finally being taken back to the hospital yesterday morning.
