A 64-year-old woman and her 31-year-old daughter have become
the first confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Indonesia.
According to Reuters, the two women tested positive to the
deadly virus after coming in contact with an infected Japanese national.
The discovery comes after some medical experts raised
concerns about a lack of vigilance and a risk of undetected cases in the
South-East Asian country of more than 260 million people, while authorities
have defended screening processes.
President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, said on Monday, “After
checks, they were in a sick state. This morning, I got a report that the mother
and daughter tested positive for coronavirus.”
The pair are being treated at Jakarta's Sulianti Saroso
Infectious Diseases Hospital.
