JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Indonesia is converting more hospital beds to treat Covid-19 patients amid a surge in cases dominated by the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin told a media briefing on Friday (June 25) that three major hospitals - the Persahabatan hospital, Fatmawati hospital and Sulianti Saroso hospital - in Jakarta will be converted into full Covid-19 hospitals and at least two major, newly built government subsidised housing complexes in the capital will be turned into facilities to treat patients with mild symptoms.
