SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore has started charging visitors for coronavirus treatment, the city-state said as it reported new imported infections involving people who had travelled from neighboring Indonesia.

Indonesia, the world's fourth-most populous country, reported its first virus case earlier this month and officially has just 19 infections compared to 160 in Singapore. Disease experts have questioned how many cases could be going undiagnosed in Indonesia.
