JAKARTA (The Straits Ti mes/ANN): Indonesia's unicorns and start-ups have joined forces to produce test kits locally, a move that may help President Joko Widodo achieve his target of doubling testing capacity for Covid-19 as cities across the world's fourth most populous country gradually lift restrictions.

A unicorn refers to any tech start-up that reaches US$1 billion ($1.39 billion) in market value.
