Indonesia says nothing to hide after no coronavirus cases detected

JAKARTA: Indonesia is not hiding anything over the coronavirus, the health minister said on Tuesday , after some medical researchers expressed concern that cases may have gone undetected in the world's fourth most populous country.

Dozens of cases have been recorded in other regional countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, where one person has died, raising suspicions on social media in particular over a potential lack of vigilance in Indonesia. The Harvard team said that Indonesia's lack of confirmed cases"may suggest the potential for undetected cases" as air travel may contribute to cases being exported from China.

"We have the kits to check coronavirus and they're certified ... Nothing is concealed," Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto said after a cabinet meeting at the Bogor presidential palace outside Jakarta, in response to the concerns.Indonesia has tested 64 samples from suspected coronavirus infections - 62 of which were declared negative with two still being tested, health ministry Research and development agency head Siswanto said during a tour of its laboratory in Jakarta.
