JAKARTA - Total coronavirus infections in Indonesia surged past 100,000 amid an easing of physical-distancing rules to allow economic activity to resume, prompting President Joko Widodo to order health officials to focus on containing the disease in the nation's eight main provinces.
The number of infections has almost quadrupled since the end of May as more cities and provinces, including the capital Jakarta and Indonesia's second-largest city Surabaya, began easing curbs in early June.
