JAKARTA - Indonesia's Health Ministry has urged healthcare facilities to stay alert and increase surveillance of Covid-19 amid a surge in cases caused by a more transmissible but less deadly Omicron sub-variant in several countries across Asia.
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss the rising number of Covid-19 cases across Asia on June 3. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, he said that "cases are indeed increasing, but the rise is caused by variants that are relatively less deadly".
His statement came after his ministry issued a circular last week to warn healthcare facilities to stay alert after a rising Covid-19 trend in Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, largely driven by the more transmissible but less severe Omicron subvariant JN.1.
