The drill included thousands of people on the island of Bali.

Civilians as well as government officials all took part in the activities associated with the drill.

The drill, as stated, lasted for three-days.

They have to simulate a situation where the island of Bali would be under quarantine, as well as how to properly treat patients in a hospital environment.

The last drill took place at the Bali international airport, where they had to deal with how to care for people trying to board a plane with the bird flu.

Indonesia has been the hardest hit country since the bird flu outbreaks began, with 107 human deaths in Indonesia alone since 2003.

This drill may help if it ever transforms into a human-to-human form.
