Indonesia: Covid-19 Coronavirus death toll is 38,573

Indonesia surpasses one million COVID-19 cases.

Al Jazeera English shows that Indonesia surpassed one million cases of coronavirus on Tuesday. The rate of virus infection has been steadily climbing in the country for months. More than 10,000 cases have been reported every day in recent weeks. However, low testing rates mean the crisis is believed to be much bigger than those figures suggest. Some hospital rooms are full, so ill people are being sent back home. Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington joins us live from Jakarta for the latest updates.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia is part of the ongoing global worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was confirmed to have spread to Indonesia on 2 March 2020, after a dance instructor and her mother tested positive for the virus. Both were infected from a Japanese national.

By 9 April 2020, the pandemic had spread to all 34 provinces in the country. Jakarta, West Java, and Central Java are the worst-hit provinces.

As of 15 March 2021, Indonesia has reported 1,425,044 cases, the highest in Southeast Asia, ahead of the Philippines. With 38,573 deaths, Indonesia ranks third in Asia and 17th in the world. Review of data, however, indicated that the number of deaths may be much higher than what has been reported as those who died with acute COVID-19 symptoms but had not been confirmed or tested were not counted in the certain official death figure.

Indonesia is officially the Republic of Indonesia. This is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of more than 17 thousand islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo and New Guinea. Indonesia is the world's largest island country and the 14th-largest country by land area, at 1,904,569 square kilometers. With more than 270 million people, Indonesia is the world's 4th-most populous country. Java (the world's most populous island) is home to more than half of the country's population.

The sovereign state is a presidential, constitutional republic with an elected legislature. It has 34 provinces, of which 5 have special status. The country's capital, Jakarta, is the second-most populous urban area in the world. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and the eastern part of Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, Palau, and India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support one of the world's highest levels of biodiversity.

Indonesian (locally referred to as Bahasa Indonesia) is the primary lingua franca. Indonesian is spoken by over 94% of the population, but it is the primary language of only 20% of the population. Javanese (Jawa) is the most common primary language, spoken by over 30% of the population.
