JAKARTA: Doctors, politicians and human rights commissioners are calling on Indonesia's government to enact tighter movement restrictions as the death toll from the Covid-19 (coronavirus) rose on Sunday (March 30) in the world's fourth most populous country, which has resisted lockdowns.
A government minister in the country of 260 million said on Friday that a regulation was being prepared so regions can limit movement to stop the spread of the disease, which has killed 114 people in Indonesia as of Sunday, with 1,285 confirmed cases.
