JAKARTA: Indonesia on Saturday (May 9) reported 533 new coronavirus infections, the biggest daily increase, taking the total number to 13,645, health ministry official Achmad Yurianto said.
Yurianto reported 16 more have died from the disease, taking the total number of death to 959, while 2,607 have recovered.
Medical experts have criticised the government for its low testing rate, which potentially masks the scale of its Covid-19 outbreak, with only around 50 tests per 100,000 people compared with 2,500 per 100,000 in neighbouring Singapore. The province of Central Java, for example, was only capable of testing 600 samples a day despite their 900-sample intake, the notes said.
