• Jakarta has again extended its first phase of transitional large-scale social
restrictions (PSBB) until 13 August. The first transitional PSBB phase
started on 05 June and was set to last until 02 July. Due to the increasing
number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, the administration extended the
phase until 16 July and then to 30 July. Governor Anies Baswedan stated
that businesses that had resumed operating from office buildings recorded
an alarming number of new COVID-19 clusters over the past two weeks.
He reiterated that businesses can open only at half-capacity while adhering
to health protocols and should implement alternating working hours2.
• The Ministry of Transportation recorded a significant increase in travellers
using private cars and public transportation at several main toll road
sections, airports, seaports, bus terminals, and train stations during the Eid-
al-Adha holiday. A total of 145 546 cars were recorded leaving several toll
road sections in Jakarta on 29 July – an 18% increase from that of normal
days. The Soekarno-Hatta International Airport recorded more than 37 000
passengers travelling on 30 July. The 16% increase in passengers was
followed by a 13% rise in aircraft movements, with 460 aircraft movements
that day3.
• At least 70 doctors and 50 nurses have died from COVID-19 in Indonesia,
with hundreds more contracting the disease while fighting the pandemic.
The Indonesian Medical Association (IDI) estimated between 200 and 300
of the country's 160 000 doctors had been infected by the virus. In the
second week of July alone, 14 doctors died from the disease. The National
Nurses Association (PPNI) stated that at least 300 of the country's 1.3
million nurses have contracted the disease, but cautioned the figure could
be higher. The associations are calling for regular testing of healthcare
workers, guaranteed access to personal protective equipment (PPE) and
further education on reducing the transmission of the disease4.

Disclaimer: Based on data availability, only confirmed COVID-19 deaths have been included; however, as
per the WHO definition, death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed
COVID-19 case is a COVID-19-related death, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot
be related to COVID-19 (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery between the illness
and death.

• As of 05 August, the daily number of specimens and suspected cases
tested were 28 738 and 14 722, respectively (Fig. 5). The weekly average
number of specimens and suspected cases tested in the last seven days
were 22 314 and 11 669, respectively. There was a decrease in the number
of suspected cases tested over the last week. Therefore, it is crucial to
strengthen primary-care and hospital-based surveillance, intensify contact
tracing, implement community-based surveillance (whereby the community
members monitor and report health events to local authorities), and
enhance surveillance for people who live in closed settings such as in
prisons, residential facilities or care homes for the elderly and people with
disabilities.
• The Ministry of Social Affairs and relevant partners convened the third and
fourth batches of webinars for the ‘Tagana’ (community volunteers for
responding to disasters) on the preparation of quarantine and isolation
facilities at the community level. These batches covered the provinces of

Criterion 2: Less than 5% of samples positive for COVID-19, at least for the last 2
weeks, assuming that surveillance for suspected cases is comprehensive
• The percentage of positive samples can be interpreted only with
comprehensive surveillance and testing of suspected cases, in the order
of one per 1 000 population per week. DKI Jakarta has achieved this
minimum case detection benchmark (Fig. 12).
Figure 12: Positivity rate of cases, and suspected cases tested per 1 000 population per week:
Week 1: 13/07/20 - 19/07/20; Week 2: 20/07/20 - 26/07/20; Week 3: 27/07/20 - 02/08/20
For surveillance purposes, positivity rate is calculated as the number of confirmed cases
divided by the number of people tested for diagnosis. Source of data: Indonesia, DKI Jakarta

• During the last three-week period, an increase in the weekly number of
confirmed COVID-19 cases in DKI Jakarta was observed: 2 033, 2 713 and
3 025 from 13 to 19 July, 20 to 26 July and 27 July to 02 August,
respectively. This is a result of the active case finding strategy implemented
in the province. The positivity rate has also increased from 5.4% to 5.6%
and 7.9%, respectively. Despite DKI Jakarta exceeding the benchmark of
one suspected case tested per 1 000 population per week, there is an
increase in the positivity rate which shows a high level of on-going
transmission.
• As reported by the government on 05 August, the number of persons
tested for COVID-19 with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was 14 722
and the cumulative number of persons tested was 922 709 (Fig. 15).

control mechanism for the seroepidemiological study.
• On 29 July, WHO participated in a coordination meeting with the NIHRD to
discuss the logistics for COVID-19 PCR testing. The NIHRD will coordinate
requests from the provinces for automatic extraction machines required to
prepare samples for PCR tests. These machines are expected to speed
up the sample extraction process for COVID-19 testing.
• As of 05 August, the proportion of people that recovered among the total
confirmed COVID-19 cases was 63.2% (Fig. 16). As of the same date, there

• On 29 July, WHO participated in a meeting with the Indonesian Medical
Association (IDI) to discuss a risk mitigation strategy for the increasing
number of doctors infected with COVID-19. The association has begun
recording the number of COVID-19 deaths in doctors. The IDI requested
WHO’s technical assistance to develop (i) supplementary
comprehensive protocols for doctors, focusing on their personal
protection during COVID-19 service delivery, and (ii) an information
system to collect data on the number COVID-19 infections,
hospitalizations, recoveries and deaths in doctors. Similarly, the
National Nurses Association (PPNI) has been concerned about the
increasing number of nurses infected and requested participation from
WHO in one of their daily webinars to reiterate preventive measures for
nurses. The PPNI also requested support to develop educational
materials on IPC, focusing on PPE, and to assess nurses’ exposure to
COVID-19 to understand why, how and where they got infected by the
virus. The results from the assessment will be used to develop an action
plan to mitigate risk of exposure and infection in nurses. As requested,
on 25 July, a resource person from WHO presented at the 77th daily
webinar for nurses on IPC, attended by 800 nurses nationwide (Fig. 17).

• From 29 to 31 July, WHO and Ministry of Health (MoH) delegates from the
WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific Region participated in
the Asia-Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases Technical Advisory Group
(APSED) bi-regional video conference. Countries from both regions shared
their best practices, challenges and lessons learned during the COVID-19
response. Participation in the meeting was a valuable opportunity for all
members to consider possible best practices that may be adaptable by
other countries to resolve bottlenecks faced during implementation of
COVID-19 response plans.
• WHO is collaborating with Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI) for activities related
to risk communication and community engagement. A rapid assessment
was conducted during the last week of July to gain insight into community
receptiveness and information needs as well as identify appropriate
communication strategies in 16 districts of four provinces: East Nusa
Tenggara, North Maluku, Papua and West Kalimantan (Fig. 18). On 12
August, WVI, with input from WHO, will present the results of the
assessment to the PHOs.

support breastfeeding as a critical component of the health and
nutrition response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
ii. Continuing to support breastfeeding mothers with improved quality
counselling and accurate information on maternal, infant and young
child nutrition, including strengthening the ‘Baby Friendly Hospital
Initiative’;
iii. Ending the promotion of breastmilk substitutes to enable mothers
and caregivers to make informed decisions on best way to feed their
babies; and
iv. Encouraging women to continue to breastfeed during the pandemic,
with no separation of mother and baby, even if a mother is confirmed
or suspected to have COVID-19, while adhering to appropriate IPC
measures.

• WHO is supporting the government for programme analysis of various
essential health services to ensure their continuity during the pandemic.
Highlights of the noncommunicable disease (NCD) programme are presented
below:
Impact of COVID-19 on NCD services and interventions in Indonesia:
Indonesia contributed to WHO’s global rapid assessment of service delivery for
NCDs during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. The data indicated the
following:
i. Outpatient NCD services have been open with limited access; and inpatient
NCD management services have been open for emergencies only.
ii. Hypertension management, cancer treatment, diabetes and diabetic
complication management, asthma and palliative care services have been
partially disrupted. One reason for these disruptions has been limited stocks
of essential medicines and medical diagnostics in health facilities.
iii. Public screening for NCD risk factors, which is usually carried out in
community-based health facilities, has stopped during the pandemic to
reduce the transmission risk of COVID-19.
To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and maintain essential NCD services,
interventions focus on the following areas:
i. Guidelines: On 14 April 2020, the MoH issued a circular on management
guidelines for NCDs and their risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The circular acknowledges the vulnerability of NCD patients to contracting
COVID-19 and emphasizes the need to strengthen preventive measures. It
urges people with risk factors and NCDs to stay at home, practice physical
distancing, maintain hand hygiene and wear masks if required to leave the
house. It also recommends that they utilize digital health platforms to obtain
health information, and to visit health facilities immediately if they
experience any COVID-19 symptoms, for instance fever, cough or
breathing difficulty. WHO also shared modifications for the safe delivery of
NCD services in its interim guidance ‘Maintaining essential health services:
operational guidance for the COVID-19 context’.

ii. Diagnosis, monitoring and evaluation of signs of risk: The MoH circular
advises persons with diabetes to routinely check their blood glucose level
and pay attention to the signs and symptoms of increased blood glucose
level such as thirst, headache, or lethargy; and those with hypertension to
routinely check their blood pressure at home and pay attention to the signs
and symptoms of increased blood pressure for instance headaches,
palpitations or blurry vision.
iii. Logistics: Persons with NCDs who are Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional
(national health insurance scheme) members are allowed to obtain a two-
month prescription for their medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
iv. Human resources: To increase awareness on COVID-19 as well as to
improve early detection of NCDs by community health workers, the
government has conducted virtual roadshows in all 34 provinces to promote
the guideline on “Adaptation of new habits in NCD prevention and control”.
v. Prevention: In line with WHO information note on COVID-19 and NCDs, the
government has recommended people with NCD risk factors to check their
condition at home, implement a healthy lifestyle, consume healthy food with
less sugar, salt and fat, as well as to keep physically active and to avoid
smoking. In addition, the Directorate of Noncommunicable Diseases has
been actively promoting smoke-free homes and early NCD detection
virtually, as well as spreading awareness through social media for NCD as
comorbidities for COVID-19. The ongoing social media campaign is done
to promote a healthy life style among people with NCDs and people with
NCD risk factors so they can maintain their health and general immunity.
WHO has also translated and shared many related infographics on the
website and social media platforms – Twitter and Instagram (Fig. 21).

Development Programme (UNDP) will moderate a webinar on “Health,
safety and environmental standards in the workplace”. The webinar aims to
facilitate dialogue between UN agencies, governments, business
associations, the private sector and workers regarding the needs, concerns
and challenges for health and safety standards for businesses in the private
