The figures coming out of Indonesia are grim – 469 dead from Covid-19, the highest fatality count in Asia outside China, and another 5,136 people infected.

Therefore the above total of 420 is a mistake and the true figure for deaths must be 520.

COVID-19: Greater Bandung to impose large-scale social restrictions on Wednesday

Bandung / Sat, April 18, 2020

The West Java administration will officially begin enforcing large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) for Greater Bandung starting Wednesday after being given the green light by the Health Ministry to limit public activities to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Greater Bandung, which consists of Bandung city, Bandung regency, West Bandung regency, Cimahi city and Sumedang regency, will join other regions in West Java, namely Bogor, Bekasi and Depok – all satellite cities of Jakarta – in imposing the PSBB.

West Java, the most populous province in Indonesia, has the second-highest number of confirmed cases with 641 cases and 56 fatalities.

West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil said that the social restriction period would start on April 22 and last for 14 days.

“But if the residents do not obey [the rules], it can be extended without needing approval from the health minister,” Ridwan said in a press conference on Friday.

Introduced earlier this month, the PSBB policy prohibits public gatherings and mass religious activities and mandates the suspension of school and office activities, allowing only essential businesses to operate.

The governor instructed all leaders of Greater Bandung to promote the policy in their respective jurisdictions.

Epidemiologists say the number of actual cases is much higher. According to an estimate by Timothy Russel and colleagues at the London School of Hygiene &Tropical Medicine, published last month, only 5.4% of all symptomatic cases are reported in Indonesia, which means the country likely has well over 100,000 cases by now. One sign that COVID-19 is widespread is that mortality is spiking: Reuters reported last week that Jakarta had 4400 funerals in March, 40% more than in any other month since January 2018.
