In Indonesia, lab workers are arrested and accused of reusing nasal swabs in thousands of
coronavirus tests.

The idea was simple: Why throw away used rapid antigen test kits for the coronavirus when they
could be used again and again?

All it took was washing the cotton swabs used to take nasal samples, repackaging them as if they
were new and reusing them on other people.

The fraud unraveled this week when five laboratory workers were arrested in the Indonesian city
of Medan and accused of reusing nasal swabs in administering as many as 20,000 tests. They
face up to six years in prison for violating consumer protection, medical waste and contagious
disease laws.

The authorities said they were investigating whether any people were infected with the
coronavirus as a result of the contaminated tests given at an airport testing site operated by Kimia
Farma, a giant state-owned company.

They were also investigating how many people received tainted test results as they prepared to
board flights at Kualanamu International Airport, one of the nation’s busiest. A negative test
result is required in Indonesia before a passenger can board a flight.

The police announced that they would conduct random checks of labs around the country to
ensure that others were not conducting similar frauds.

Erick Thohir, the minister who oversees state-owned enterprises, said on Friday that such
practices by “unscrupulous” company employees would not be tolerated.

“Such action must be subject to very strict punishment,” he tweeted.

The five workers were believed to have pocketed about $2,000 a day since mid-December by
charging people for the tainted tests. The lab employees administered legitimate tests using
sterile cotton swabs to about 100 people a day and reused swabs for tests on about 150 others,
which would amount to thousands of tests over the period.

After the police received tips about the operation, an undercover officer went to the airport lab
for a test and submitted to a nasal swab. He received a false positive result, said Hadi Wahyudi, a
spokesman for the North Sumatra police.
Back at the police station, the undercover officer received another test that came back negative

The police raided the laboratory on Tuesday, arrested the five employees and confiscated
hundreds of recycled cotton swabs. They also seized more than $10,000 in cash and a laptop
used to produce the documents given to people to certify their test results.

Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, has reported nearly 1.7 million coronavirus
cases and more than 45,000 deaths, the most in Southeast Asia, according to a New York Times
database. Health experts have estimated that the totals are actually many times higher because of
limited testing.

The country has recovered somewhat from a surge that peaked in late January but is still
averaging more than 5,000 new cases a day. A nationwide vaccination campaign is underway
and more than 19 million doses have been administered.

Bali reopens to foreign tourists, but government rules keep them away.

Not a single international flight carrying tourists has landed in Bali, one of the world’s most
popular destinations, and none are scheduled, even though Indonesia announced more than a
week ago that the popular island was finally open again for tourists.

Arriving foreign tourists must spend their first five days in quarantine, but so far, hotels offering
quarantine on the island report that no one has booked a room.

“We have been waiting every day for a week,” said Fransiska Handoko, vice chair of the Bali
Hotels Association. “Where are they?”

Before the pandemic, tourism accounted for more than half of Bali’s economy but the island has
been closed to foreign tourists since April 2020, leaving many workers desperate for income.

The Indonesian government abruptly reopened Bali on Oct. 14 to tourists from 19 countries who
are fully vaccinated and test negative for the coronavirus. But it gave hotels and airlines little
time to prepare and included numerous restrictions that make a Bali holiday unappealing.

Hotel operators say they have received many inquiries from abroad, but once they explain the
rules, the callers lose interest.

One factor is the required five days of quarantine. Most Bali tourists come for a week, travel
operators said, and don’t want to spend most of their visit confined to a hotel room.

“Two days’ holiday and spending most of the time in quarantine is nonsense,” said Wayan
Adika, a reservation clerk at Bali Golden Tour, who has been fielding calls from around the
world. “They think it’s better to wait until the quarantine requirement is revoked.”

Requiring even minimal quarantine has left Bali at a disadvantage in competing with other
destinations. Thailand, for example, announced on Thursday that it would accept fully
vaccinated tourists from 46 countries without quarantine starting Nov. 1.

Adding to the cost of a Bali trip, Indonesia will no longer issue free tourist visas. Instead, tourists
must pay in advance for a visa that can cost $65 or more and entails a complicated application
process.
Another deterrent for families has been a regulation barring children under 12 from entering Bali
because they cannot be vaccinated. That rule will be lifted on Sunday.

Tourists arriving from the 19 nations, including China, India and Japan, must arrive on flights
directly from their countries of origin. But most countries on the list, especially those in Western
Europe, do not offer such flights.

Among those listed is the tiny European country of Liechtenstein, with a population of 38,000.
Yet Indonesia excluded nearby Australia, whose travelers once flocked to Bali.

The regulations also are not easy on airlines. Indonesians traveling to Bali from overseas must
fly first to Jakarta, leaving only non-Indonesian travelers to fill the Bali flights.

So far, no airline has scheduled a flight to bring tourists to Bali from abroad, according to a Bali
airport spokesman, Taufan Yudhistira.

“We hope the government will re-evaluate the regulations,” said Rai Suryawijaya, Bali chairman
of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association. “It is not productive when we are open but
nobody is coming. If we are really open, we should make it easy.’’
