Buleleng allows informal worker with no job go back home.
FYI Bali has policy to close Gilimanuk port for people to enter/go out from Bali except for medical transport, officer on duty, etc but not for those who want to back homebto their village in other island.

Kebijakan bupati Buleleng untuk mengijinkan perantau yang sudah tidak punya pekerjaan untuk kembali ke kampung halamannya adalah lebih baik/tepat dibanding melarang mereka meninggalkan Bali padahal sudah tidak ada pekerjaan. Yang perlu diperketat adalah mereka yang ingin masuk Bali, untuk memutus rantai penyebaran Covid-19
