Indonesia reported its biggest single-day increase in coronavirus infections on Thursday, with almost half of the 2,657 new cases found at a military training centre in West Java.

But, public health researchers suspect that due to limited testing actual total cases could be far higher, though the government denies this, and has told people not to panic.

A worker sprays a colleague with disinfectant after a burial of someone who presumably died of COVID-19 at a cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia.Partial data for 20 of Indonesia's 35 provinces gathered by volunteer group Kawal Covid-19 from local government websites, however, showed there were a further 6,847 deaths of people who had not been tested but showed acute symptoms.

Mr Yurianto attributed the increasing new cases to people not wearing masks as the country re-opened and eased lockdowns.
