Tougher COVID-19 curbs begin as virus cases skyrocket in Indonesia

Correct, there are many sangkrits words being absorbed by Indonesian language. We also have many Arabic, Dutch loan words as well. We also have Persian and Portuguese loan words as well.

Indonesian language can have similarity with Hindi from Hindi sankrit and Arabic components ( Hindi uses many Arabic loan words)

I guessed it as Menteri sounded like Mantri (मंत्री), which also means a minister.
Prime Minsiter = Pradhan Mantri for example.

One of the bless of becoming a host of Asian Games 2018 is that we can use Athlete Housing complex as Covid 19 hospital for Jakarta.

The infection is going down in Jakarta and also Java and Bali that become the main epicenter, alhamdulillah. This is also where most Indonesian live and the economic engine of Indonesia. The infection currently is raising in other islands like Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi.

Athlete Housing complex (Wisma Atlet) in Jakarta is now getting more space to threat patients as the occupancy rate is going down while some times ago it almost full

They need to shut down the supermarkets to control the situation. Supermarkets are cool, lack UV, lots of people. More than 90% of infections happen in supermarkets.

Basically for Jakartan people, we can still live without supermarket during lockdown as we have many small shop like this who are every where in Jakarta. I can reach the nearest one by just walking......

Other needed food can also be ordered online like rice, fish, meat, etc

AlhamduliLLAH, infection in Jakarta which was the main epicenter for so long has been controlled...but the infection is increasing in outside Java and Bali islands ( main epicenter )


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Jakarta, there were 14,619 infections on July 12, but on Monday, there were 727, government data showed. Overall bed occupancy rates at the city's hospitals dropped to 39 percent from 90 percent.

The spread of the Delta variant, first identified in India, has put regions with weaker healthcare systems under strain.

The occupancy of intensive care beds in Gorontalo on Sulawesi island has surpassed 90 percent, while the level in three regions on Sumatra island was above 80 percent, health ministry data showed. Meanwhile, in East Kalimantan the number of infections has soared from 922 cases in the second week of June to 12,127 in the first week of August, the health agency chief said.

Indonesia extends COVID-19 curbs as infections spread in regions

In one of Asia's worst epidemics, authorities restricted mobility to stem the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus on Java and Bali in early July, and since extended them to other areas with high infection rates.

Delta variant is everywhere.

Don't trust 100% at the reported number, because the number is those who are identified and heavily sick.

But for the asymptomatic and light symptoms, no one cares about it anyway, but they are everywhere.

Uncomfortable on the throat and light coughing, despite it will disappear in just one or several days, it could be Covid-19. One person cough, but persons on the side get a fever. It's highly suspicious. Despite it will be gone soon after, but it doesn't mean it's not Covid-19.

I do believe most people are already ever get infected by Covid-19.

This Delta variant is spreading so fast and easily.

The biggest danger of Covid-19 is asymptomatic and light symptoms similar to flu. Everyone looks down on flu-like symptoms, and that is what makes Covid-19 so dangerous. If Covid-19 symptoms are much heavier and very visible like make you look like a monster, everyone will be in panic and onguard.

Feels relaxed and looks down on the matter because of 'laughable" symptoms, which makes Covid-19 will never be gone, keep spreading, and keep mutating.

Indonesia Deploys Ships as Floating Covid-19 Wards

SEPTEMBER 04, 2021

Jakarta. The Indonesian government has deployed five ferries to be used as makeshift isolation facilities for Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms in several cities with a combined capacity of more than 3,000 beds.

The five ferries have dropped anchors off Jayapura in Papua, Sorong in West Papua, Belawan in North Sumatra, Makassar in South Sulawesi, and Bitung in North Sulawesi.

“The aim of those floating isolation facilities is to move self-isolating patients from their homes, thus reducing the risk of family clusters,” Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said when inspecting the facility at Jayapura Port in Papua.

All the five ships are owned and operated by state-run sea transport company Pelni.

MV Tidar is the biggest among the five and able to accommodate 929 beds. It’s now being stationed off Jayapura, where multi-sport event the National Games will take place later this month.

Airlangga said the number of Covid-19 patients being treated at the facility has dropped sharply to a mere 17 as of Saturday.

The ferry has six doctors, 12 nurses, a nutritionist, two pharmacists, four volunteers and four medical analysts, he said.

MV Tidar arrived in Jayapura on August 14 at the request of the city’s health department. It will continue the service until the conclusion of the National Games in mid-October.

The government is ramping up vaccination in Papua, especially in the cities of Jayapura, Merauke and Mimika that will become the venues of the sporting event.

Airlangga said the entire adult population in the three cities are expected to have received at least a dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by the time the event begins.

“Only vaccinated persons can watch the games on site so hopefully more and more people will come to get the jabs,” he said.

In the coastal city of Sorong in neighboring West Papua, the central government deployed MV Sirimau with a capacity of 449 beds. But in practice, only 160 beds were prepared and the number of patients already fell to just five.

For Makassar, the government sent MV Umsini that can house 785 patients.
The two other ships are MV Bukit Raya stationed in Belawan and MV Tatamailau in Bitung, with a capacity of 450 beds and 448, respectively.

The deployment of makeshift hospital ships came as a solution to curb infections in stricken cities outside of Java and Bali as the local governments don’t have public buildings big enough to accommodate hundreds of patients when hospitals were overloaded.

Certainly a very significant number..but not quite 90%. I think most is from exposure in cool confined places with inadequate ventilation like subways, buses, crowded apartments, malls, and workplaces.
