Exclusive: US diplomats have expressed concerns to top Indonesian government officials about their country's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, warning of the 'critical' need to be seeking out and more frequently testing for the virus | jamesmassola

"We routinely meet with government of Indonesia officials on a wide range of topics related to our over-70-years-long bilateral relationship. We do not discuss publicly the details of our diplomatic conversations. That said, the coronavirus outbreak is rapidly evolving, and like our Indonesian counterparts, we are watching it closely," she said.The United States government has provided material and technical assistance to Indonesia.

Marc Lipsitch, a Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard University and co-author of a paper that suggested it was statistically improbable there were zero coronavirus cases in Indonesia, was attacked by Health Minister Terawan for the report's "insulting" findings.he was not "picking on" Indonesia.

"We have checked everybody who was in contact with him including the airline crew. We have also checked the travel agency staff who were in contact with him. No one has reported suffering or indicating they have been infected," Bali Health Agency head Ketut Suarjaya said. "We have not placed anyone in self-quarantine. We have his travel history while in Bali, we are closely monitoring people in the area. So far there's nothing. We have not tested anyone, but we will if anyone shows symptoms."
