BREAKING: Jakarta to pull emergency brakes. Back to full PSBB. Non-essential employees to work from home, no dine-in, entertainment and tourism destination will be closed.

Press conference still going on, broadcasting on Youtube.

Governor Anies says that at the current rate of case growth, Jakarta's isolation wards will be full by Sept 17th. They are trying to increase capacity by 20%, but even then the increased capacity will be filled by mid-October.
According to the chart below, only one province has worse hospital occupancy than Jakarta: Bali.

It remains to be seen what Bali's response will be to the potential upcoming health care catastrophe. Image

Attention foreigners stranded in Indonesia: The advice in this article, re. travel to Singapore, via Batam then back to Indonesia is wrong.

Once you leave Indonesia, you can't return: Indonesia is currently not issuing Visa Free or On Arrival entry. 1/

smh.com.au/national/weste…
The deadline for you to leave Indonesia/arrange for a visa has been postponed to Sept 20th. If you wish to stay, the best way is to apply for a visa. The visa will now serve as a stay permit, so no need to travel abroad to collect it. You will need an Indonesian sponsor. 2/
If you do not have any Indonesian friends willing to do this, then you will need to engage a visa agency, which is where things will get more expensive.

Important: The application has to be accepted before Sept 20th by immigration for you to remain legal.

Another patient in Bali with multiple tests (21 so far) without the 2 consecutive negatives required for discharge.

The 2 negatives protocol uses up tests that could be utilized to detect/trace new cases, especially where testing resources are limited.

The WHO and the US CDC: people can be considered recovered and non-infectious 10 days after their symptoms began, as long as they have been symptom-free for three days.

statnews.com/2020/06/08/vir…
The European CDC notes:
In the context of limited resources during the COVID-19 epidemic, the testing of symptomatic persons should have priority over the testing of asymptomatic patients before release from isolation.

Indonesia is wasting too many tests on known cases. For example, today 17,757 tests were conducted, BUT only on 5,826 people.

Some of these tests are "wasted" on recovering patients, because Indonesia requires 2 negative results in a row to discharge from the hospital. Image
Here are some more extreme samples: A patient in Bali had to be tested 12 times in a row, because they couldn't get 2 negatives in a row.

Or this one, who needed 8 tests.

Indonesian official data released by the Covid-19 task force contains some "inconsistencies". First, these two are dated May 23, but second one was released May 24th. That one claims 11,013 tests, but if you subtract the cumulative tests between the two days you only get 8,815.🤷 ImageImage
In fact, the last time the total test matched the difference between the daily totals was May 22. (We checked, 229,334 - 219,975 is indeed 9,359!) ImageImage
They now also helpfully calculated positive rate (btw, still misspelled as "possitive" 6 releases later). The number has been constant at 12% the last 3 days, because well, they didn't bother to update it. 😅

It should be 15.5%, 13.7%, 14.3%. (postive cases/total cases). Image
