JAKARTA, KOMPAS — President Joko Widodo has announced that two Indonesian citizens are suffering from COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus, and are currently being treated at the Sulianti Saroso Infectious Diseases Hospital, Jakarta. With the two cases, all parties should be collaborating to prevent the spread of the disease.

“Last week a Japanese citizen visited Indonesia and then stayed in Malaysia, where he tested positive for coronavirus. Upon further tracing, while in Indonesia he had been in contact with a 64-year-old mother and her 31-year-old daughter. After being examined, both tested positive for coronavirus,” said the President, who was standing beside Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Monday (2/3/2020).
