Many people have thought young people are less risk of virus infection, even no dangerous at all, just mild flu.

The only reason why we should not get infected is that for the elderly and children at home.

But this case awakes everyone.

No wonder if Europe and USA who were very relaxed at first suddenly waked up.

Jakarta is under state of emergency and force businesses to halt operation for the next 2 weeks.

I hope Mosques will be organized to provide free food for poor people. We can do it every ramadhan for a month, so I think we can do it under this outbreak situation.

It needs more than two weeks, the battle will be long.

We need to organize ourselves to survive for longer period of time.


It's better if the government organize factories to produce masks, hand sanitizer, food and so on.

We should less depend on China, because such goods are in high demand internationally, not to mention it's just the beginning, and the peak will still months away.

Thats right, I also urge government to better protect the medical staff that are fighting the virus. There are 7 doctors who have died nationwide and 42 infected medical staff in Jakarta alone.

Look like my older brother and little sister who work as doctors in Persahabatan Hospital are very vulnerable to get the virus. Both of them have little kids and particularly my sister is frequently meeting my mother. My older brother though have taken precautionary measure and now live in a separate home from his family

COVID-19 spreads among Indonesian government officials

At least five high-ranking central and regional government officials have tested positive for COVID-19 as of Tuesday.

Meanwhile, two others who had yet to be tested died on Monday after reportedly showing symptoms of the disease: the Industry Ministry's metal, machinery, transportation equipment and electronic industry (ILMATE) director general, Harjanto, and the ministry's expert staff member, Amir Sambodo.

Harjanto died at Medistra Hospital in Jakarta on Monday at around 9:30 p.m. The 58-year old suffered from shortness of breath prior to the death, Industry Ministry spokesperson Krisna Sulistyani said Tuesday as reported by kompas.com.

Amir died the following day at around 8:15 a.m. He was 60.

The State Palace announced on March 14 that Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi had tested positive for COVID-19. He was the first Indonesian official to be diagnosed with the contagious respiratory disease.

Budi, who has long struggled with asthma, was directly involved in the evacuation process of 238 Indonesians from the epicenter of the virus outbreak in Wuhan, China, as well as 257 Indonesians from the virus-stricken World Dream and Diamond Princess cruise ships.

The minister's health is reportedly improving as he undergoes medical treatment at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital (RSPAD) in Jakarta.

"He's getting better every day," Transportation Ministry spokesperson Adita Irawati said recently, confirming that Budi was in stable condition.

Before being hospitalized, Budi attended a cabinet meeting led by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on March 11.

After the announcement that Budi had tested positive, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and his Cabinet were also tested for the disease. Jokowi announced earlier this week that he and his wife, First Lady Iriana, had tested negative. The test results of the other ministers have yet to be announced.

Adita announced on Tuesday that another high-ranking official at the Transportation Ministry had also been diagnosed with the new coronavirus.

"The Transportation Ministry's railway director general, Zulfikri, has been tested positive for COVID-19. He's now in good condition and undergoing self-quarantine [at home]."

Zulfikri and other officials at the ministry were given swab tests on March 18.

The director general separately confirmed that he was self-isolating at home. Before taking the test, he had undergone treatment at Eka Hospital in South Tangerang, Banten, from March 9 to 13. He was initially diagnosed with pneumonia.

"I encourage those who had physical contact with me recently [and] show symptoms of COVID-19 to immediately undergo a medical checkup to break the transmission chain," Zulfikri said Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil announced that Karawang Regent Cellica Nurrachadiana had COVID-19.

Three top officials from the province have now tested positive. The other two are Bogor Mayor Bima Arya and Bandung Deputy Mayor Yana Mulyana.

Jokowi is truly one exceptional man. Haters slander him and his family 24/7 since 2012 but he keeps showing to the nation his sincerity and hard work. He just buried his mother at 01:00 pm and immediately return to Jakarta for G20 conference at 07:00 pm on the same day. Mourning doesn't stop him from doing his job. You stay strong, Mr. Joko Widodo.

Thank you bro, I also hope USA can contain the coronavirus as soon as possible. Any way my aunt and cousins are living in Salt Like City, USA. Her husband who is American with Indonesian origin also work in hospital and I believe he is quite busy now. There is also other relative living in Boston.

Meanwhile, Indonesian athletes who will participate in Olympic games are still undergoing training as usual.
