Jakarta. Indonesia has confirmed two novel coronavirus cases in its territory after diagnosing two women living in Depok, a West Java suburb just outside Jakarta, who came in contact with a Japanese man coming from Malaysia who was already infected with the virus several days ago.

Health Minister Agus Terawan Putranto said the women had tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2, a new strain of the coronavirus that causes the pneumonia-like Covid-19 disease, and are now kept in isolation at the Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso Hospital for Infectious Diseases in North Jakarta.

"When we first found out about the Japanese man's [confirmed with coronavirus] case in Malaysia, a team in Indonesia went straight away to track down his activities and who he had met here," President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo said.

"Now we've found these two women — a 64-year old woman and her 31-year old daughter — positive with the virus," he said.

JAKARTA: One of the two patients who tested positive for COVID-19 in Indonesia had been ill for two weeks before the authorities tested her for the virus, Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto revealed on Monday (Mar 2).

This was because she did not have a travel history to countries affected by the outbreak, he explained.

The authorities had immediately placed the patients - a 31-year-old dance teacher and her 64-year-old mother - in quarantine after learning that the former had come into close contact with a Japanese woman who visited Indonesia and later tested positive in Malaysia...

JAKARTA: Faced by a rising death toll from coronavirus and a big jump in infections, Indonesia’s president on Thursday called for testing to be stepped up immediately in the world’s fourth most populous country.

Less than three weeks since the country of more than 260 million announced its first case of the virus, its death toll had reached 25 — higher than in any other Southeast Asian country.

The number of infections in Indonesia jumped by 82 to 309, which together with daily rises of 110 in Malaysia and 60 in Thailand sent the number of reported infections across Southeast Asia to nearly 2,200...

Indonesia sees biggest daily jump in cases with 82 new infections

Indonesia yesterday reported 82 new coronavirus cases, its biggest daily increase, as President Joko Widodo expressed regret that many in the capital have shrugged off social distancing measures.

The total confirmed infections now stand at 309, said government spokesman on Covid-19 management Achmad Yurianto. He added that the number of deaths rose by six to 25, most of which were in Jakarta. Provinces such as West Java, East Java and the Riau Islands also reported new cases.

Mr Joko and his wife, First Lady Iriana, also announced yesterday that they tested negative for the coronavirus, after Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi was confirmed last week to have been infected.

The rise in fatalities from the coronavirus comes as Mr Joko said the country's social distancing measures have not been taken seriously by many Jakarta residents.

"The study-at-home, work-from-home, do-prayer-at-home measures should not be seen as an opportunity to go on holidays," Mr Joko said yesterday before meeting ministers to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

The measures, announced last Saturday, saw the Jakarta provincial government close all schools in the city of more than 10 million people for two weeks.

Popular tourist sites such as the Taman Impian Jaya Ancol theme park and the National Monument were also closed....:tiphat:https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se...new-infections
