The Indonesian island of **Bali has intensified monitoring** of visitors, particularly from **China and Malaysia**, to mitigate the spread of **human metapneumovirus (HMPV)** infections.
The **World Health Organization (WHO)** indicates HMPV is common during winter and spring, with recent reports showing steady respiratory infection levels in China.
Bali authorities mandate that travellers from China and Malaysia complete a **health declaration form** three days prior to their arrival for extra safety.
A **quarantine clinic** has been established at Bali's airport, where passengers with temperatures above 38°C will undergo testing.
The Indonesian Health Minister reassures the public, stating **HMPV is not deadly**, encouraging good hygiene practices to manage health concerns.
