JAKARTA - Indonesia on Monday announced 316 new cases of the coronavirus, bringing the total number of infections in the country to 4,557, according to data provided by a health ministry official, Dr Achmad Yurianto.
Indonesia's government is ramping up its coronavirus testing capacity and expanding the partial lockdown to areas outside the capital after facing criticism for having one of the region's lowest testing rates per capita. The world's fourth most populous nation has so far tested only around 27,000 people out of its 270 million population, according to the data from Ministry of Health.
HIDDEN HOT SPOT The government predicted the pandemic may infect as many as 95,000 people by the end of next month before easing. Mr Joko has rejected calls to lock down cities and regions to fight the virus, saying such harsh steps would hurt the poor the most.
