Healthcare workers rest as they finish swab tests for the coronavirus in Depok, south of Jakarta, Indonesia. Antara Foto/Asprilla Dwi Adha/ via REUTERSJAKARTA: Indonesia reported its biggest daily jump in coronavirus deaths on Thursday , bringing the total confirmed number to 280 in the world's fourth most populous country, the highest death toll in Asia outside China where the virus first emerged.
Indonesia confirmed 40 more deaths and its death toll accounts for nearly half of the more than 590 across Southeast Asia. More than 16,500 cases have been reported across the region.Indonesian health ministry official Achmad Yurianto said the country had registered 337 new infections, also a new daily high, taking the total to 3,293.
Health experts say Indonesia faces a surge in cases after a slow government response masked the scale of the outbreak in Southeast Asia's biggest country.Indonesia has brought in"large-scale social restrictions", but President Joko Widodo has resisted bringing in the type of tough lockdowns imposed by neighbours and only moved to allow areas like Jakarta, where there has been a spike in cases, more powers to tackle the crisis.
