JAKARTA: As debate rages about the true death toll caused by the coronavirus outbreak in Indonesia, Jakarta coffin maker Sahroni has been too busy to pay the issue much attention.
The warehouse where Sahroni works normally specialises in coffins for Indonesia's Christian minority, but now they are providing coffins for all denominations, including Muslims who would usually be buried in a shroud. New protocols for victims or suspected victims of COVID-19 call for the use of coffins.
Data from the Jakarta governor's office further showed more than 438 people had been buried according to COVID-19 protocols between Mar 2 and Apr 6, despite the national death toll standing at just under half that figure. Suherman, a 45-year-old coffin maker, prepares a coffin ordered to be donated for the coronavirus disease victims at a workshop inside a funeral complex in Jakarta, Indonesia, Apr 8, 2020.
