Bali is accounted for half of the 10 high-risk areas of Covid-19 in Indonesia and it continues to record high numbers of new infections daily. However, two social media influencer thinks it will be pretty cool to fake a face mask and have a face mask painted on her face instead. Leia Se, a Russian national who goes by the name “Lisha” online tried to enter a supermarket with no mask on which she was turned away. Together with Josh Paler Lin, a U.S Based Taiwan national, they both went back to their car and painted a mask over her face, and then they tried entering the grocery stores and succeeded without even get caught.
They then filmed themselves walking through the store and the video was posted on April 16 as a prank where the clip quickly went viral and create a heated backlash from Indonesian who find the stunt is not funny at all, as they both had deliberately flouted local rules governing public health by using a prank as an excuse and Indonesia flood their social media pages with comments asking them to leave Bali.
The video has been taken down from Lin’s Youtube and Facebook page and it still could be found on social media platforms and following the backlash, their passport had been seized by local authorities and Individuals caught not wearing masks outside their homes for the first time are now subject to a fine of IDR1 million (S$91.80). The fine was raised from IDR100,000 when many tourists continued to disregard the rules. With a second violation, they might get them deported from Indonesia.
