DENPASAR, Indonesia (AP) A U.S.-based YouTuber and a Russian influencer were ordered off Indonesias resort island of Bali on Friday after recording themselves defying mandatory mask-wearing with some imaginative makeup.

Clips of the video created by Josh Paler Lin and Leia Se and posted two weeks ago show the two duping supermarket guards with a painted surgical mask after they were refused entry because Se was unmasked.

Did you notice like no ones actually looking at you? Lin exclaimed. I cant believe it worked! he said in the video that appears to have been taken down from his social media accounts but has since been reposted elsewhere.

Lin is a Taiwanese passport holder whose YouTube channel specializes in prank videos and is followed by 3.4 million fans. Se has over 25,000 Instagram followers.

Although first-time violators of Balis mask-wearing rule face fines of 1 million rupiah ($70) for foreigners and deportation after a second offense, the police wanted them removed off the island immediately.

Its only proper to sanction them more severely, not just with a fine but also deportation, said Balis civil service police unit head Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi. They are not only violating, but deliberately provoking in public to defy health guidelines.
