Indonesia should 'prepare for the worst' on coronavirus, says Red Cross
The world’s fourth most populous country has gone from zero reported cases to 309 in less than three weeks and the death toll has hit 25, higher than any other Southeast Asian country.
“If the tests are low, then the cases are low,” said Kalla, adding that the true number of cases should be revealed once Indonesia gets more test results from laboratories to step up testing. Kalla said Indonesia should learn from the strategy of South Korea which has used technology and tested over 290,000 people in a bid to quell its outbreak of the virus.
The country should also consider bringing in lockdowns to contain the virus, such as those being conducted in neighbours the Philippines and Malaysia, as well as restricting travel during the upcoming holidays to mark the Muslim fasting month.
