Many health workers in Indonesia dealing with rising numbers of coronavirus cases say they are risking their lives because their protective equipment is inadequate.
At least eight doctors and a nurse have died after contracting the illness.
Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington reports from Jakarta.

World wealth people should contribute in this crisis
If all wealthy people were generous, there wouldn’t be billionaires or poverty. Many are very greedy; this will never change.
@Mkinfknsndwyches! Exactly. Agreed 👍
Creativity & Lights yes u just did told every that.
@Keking I don’t think so you’re an uneducated. By the way, it’s my humble request to you reread my first comment. Contribute simply means to give money in order to help the poor. In this critical time there are lots of people are being died due to hungry.
By the way, nobody will force anyone to have a contribute in this time.
China should pay, and every country should sue China.
Hot and wearing protective suit
Watch “Event201” ….this is a planademic
Saw it
You need body pumped up on Vitamin C to do that job ffs. Look at Shanghai research…
Your body only absorbs a small amount then you urinate the rest out. That whole immune boost/ascorbic acid is just marketing trying to make you buy their products. It’s all a sham to get your money.
When you think the country you live in is doing it tough…. there are plenty of other countires doing it 10× worse. 😷😷😔
That’s so true.
The USA wasn’t and isn’t prepared no matter what you think. Not enough ventilators, PPI, nothing…it’s a mess and people are dying in the USA a supposed 1st world country.
@Nurse Terra Its better then some countries.
Well indonesian people is still hard to cooperation with the government instruction about the lockdown and stay away from the crowd, yeah since the publics relation here isnt stabil yet after the election case last year…
Some people still hate the government this is why the government work hard to organize them
And if this case going on, some people still dont want to cooperate with the government instruction, im worried this gonna be hard times for Indonesia and the infection will spread massively

Economy economy economy economy economy , Hey hedonism worshipers! People’s live is a priority instead of Economy!
Firstly, your description about corruption has nothing to do with this, is absolutely wrong! The way you describe corruption is very permissive!
Stealing from our parents is not our Indonesian culture, I think it was yours and your fellow.
Instead of curing better preventing!
It doesn’t mean that I have no empathy, thank God the spread of contagion still 600 something, before it spreads widely, do the lockdown, and use that fund for covid19 for making people’s belly filled, for basic needs especially for the poor!
And it is the time to rest earning money especially for the digger Indonesian natures, stopping business for a while won’t make those greedy folks turn to bankruptcy!
And I believe you know better that our trade minister allowed those companies to export face mask to China, hongkong, and Singapore very massively and it rise difficulties to find the face mask, if we can find it the price suffocates your neck about 50 USD for the standard one!
And kindly note since you told me I might made a mistake !
I am doing the social distancing since February as I found that virus is very contagious!
Adzhibil ba’sarobbannas isyfi Indonesian antasyafii laasyifa a ilaa syifa uka syifa ‘ala yughadiru saqoman . Aamiin
Don’t worry ’bout a thing, cause every little thing’s gonna be alright.
Really?
The entire world wasn’t prepared.
@Letario Prodeo elaborate please
Adam Rutter Taiwan was.
In 1918 neither the world was prepared for the Spanish flu
but some counstries react faster
@Mein Liebe depend on the mindset of the leaders different people different attitude
Uff..there is devoloped countries are in struggle..whereas indonesia😢
Inna lilahe wa inna illahe rajioon, martyrs
Doctors, medical staffs are assets, they need PPE on priority basis.
भगवान ले चाडैं ठीक गरोस् यो रोग ।
now where is WHO, Where is UN, where are world so called leaders….every country tried to enhance military power, nuclear power but now god has shown we are nothing if we are not together
If the east had of went missed to the west there would have been a response within mins , and trillions of dollars. They are only interested in ending lifes
@Shane Shankly g20 has taken a pledge to fight, against corona, together. They don’t know one thing pledge is not going to put food on plate to common man, pledge can not give blanket to sufferers, pledge will not give PPEs to medical personal….they keep on talking bullshit…that’s why people are supporting left nowadays
Because every country is busy with their own country
Like India please lockdown ur country for best protection
Lockdown plunged India into chaos. Indonesia’s president is trying to avoid that. Now they’re starting a local lockdown, mainly in the areas where some people were tested positive.
now u know how mentality of of indonesia… there always say indonesia is good among good in south asia even in world… last time i saw.. no virus in indoneisa n now?
@AlHafiz L yes indonesian always claim everything because they are the best they say,and now look what happen
just do like Malaysia, phase by phase, phase1 give advice, phase2 penalty $1000,phase3 prison. simple
i see some media about pandemic corona virus in Indonesian some of commments indonesia starting need support n help from malaysia… i dont want to start in bad thing but look like when in situation normal there forogting something like start to media or youtube, amalaysian is nothing to them eyes ..what kind of people like that? but as malaysian people like me, i dont care just leave it.. what i want is my country i love my country im proud as malaysian people…
Thank the JWO for this.
Been planning for hundreds of years.
Abraham was actually the hindu ” God ” Brahma, stolen mythology and lies stacked on top.
Wake up people…….
If they are dying and we will never know for sure it isn’t from a virus that doesn’t exist. Many doctors coming out blowing the planned-demic out of the water stating viruses are not contagious or make people ill….now man made bio-weapons are another matter.
Every country on planet Earth should be taken China to war look at all the damage death destruction one Communist country can cause when left Unchecked China must be put back into its place and should be taken to war or banned any International flights from all countries going in or out of China.
God help
All the world’s good Doctors, nurses, staff personnel, etc’ are top priority,… they are needed and appreciated beyond duration of any viruses to put frankly’… better equipped nations realize this, I’m sure, this is not the time for politics with out “morals”… rather, this is the moment to do the “help the professionals…all over the world thing😃… don’t think,… just do it 🌿 consider it an olive branch.
This is why some of us angry at our own fellow citizens and gov back in early february and ends of january 2020..it was unfathomable ignorance to think that being surrounding with countries with positive cases, we wont get it too. The religious leader dont help either. What a bunch of morons.
Please come to my country, work in my country, invest in my country, plan to distribute fund for influencer to invite tourists amid the outbreak in China,
That was what our government did before that valentine dancer girl became the first covid 19 patient.
Quran+virus is deadlier and more sinister than the corona virus. This unholy book has been brainwashing people into brutal savages since its inception.
Islamophobe
WTF does that have to do with the coronavirus?
this is so bad, the government are useless actually. Remove the government and choosing new professionals to run the government is good idea.
Can you imagine how much energy, time, and money wasted for that such transitions? That’s not the point. The government need to focus on cure / vaccines and universal health care mechanism.
God,we are sinners.we pray for forgivennes have mercy.
wake up
Mary Mutavi God, whichever god you’re talking about, isn’t helping now.
Government has money for everything except for the people
Government has money. The money came from the people. The taxes of middle and upper class
@Al Demir complacency i think , hope for the best.
I’m Indonesian who leave my own country for already 21 years.
I love Indonesia of course but I don’t know i feel safe and better in others country.
Because of my parents die and we are very poor family.
I leave my country when I was 18 years old and work as a helper in 4 different countries till now. I worked for my sisters and brother school and for them have a better life.
Government are rich because I know Indonesia have everything.
A lot of Oil, Gold and others stuff.
But sad have a lot poor people are not enough food every day.
Old people 90 to100 year old still working for food.
I wish I can help people who need help now because from coronavirus
@Al Demir not all government
@ah mat
Maybe not but they are definitely not helpful to their own people
Please Allah help us 😭🤲
scientists will help us. not fairytales
@marcus mcentee 😂
Don’t you think 270 million people praying to your Allah he would listen sometime? Islam has fried your brains.
@Ko Te Jebe Be respectful you aetheistic freak
Anyone not wearing something to cover the mouth and nose, needs a punch in the nose, you don’t know what I know about infection or infectious diseases
Welcome to third world country Indo where the middle low and low class are ignorant people
“idc, idk”. Generic mentality
Isn’t the Indonesian government embarrassed?
luan trieu The government is no different than our government that’s including years also nobody was prepared for this. Everyone can thank China for this or keeping it hidden
For sure..
For what?
Good luck Indonesia 👍
No one was prepared about this but we have to come together and turn our selves to God he is the only medication right now
Allah save the world please
Spoken like a true idiot. Well done.
Indonesia needs complete lockdown of the country at least three weeks. Otherwise ,the country will see the disaster. We Indian people are locked down completely and staying home. We believe that this lockdown must free our India from the cruel cycle of coronavirous.
Our government is helping us to stay home either by advice or by force.
@Rahul gm where is grocery?
@Nur Musfirah well philippines is not a rich country but we are implementing a lockdown.
@Wasim Akram Halder I hope your state government is providing..
In my state TN we are getting rice, wheat, sugar, pulses, oil free for next three months..
@Rahul gm brother everybody is not getting that. Moreover, the government bodies should visit our home to give the grocery. Their visits to our home will lead to keep social distancing.
@Wasim Akram Halder ohh that’s sad.. Let’s every people get the basic stuffs.
Alibaba banana republik not doing enough where corruption come first before everything else
Ini kerajaan yg indo bangga2in?ha ha ha..sibuknya membeli military gear tetapi rakyat mati akibat tidak mendapat perlindungan yg sepatutnya di hospital apabila merawat pesakit2 dijangkiti covid19..tahniah indo!keep it up!taksub berterusan hancur selamanya..
Malayshit is always salty. Just look at the mess you create with that Sri Petaling event. Religious brainwashing is real there.
@Geschmack J stop blaming the tabligh event…at the same time indonesia is still receiving flights from wuhan and from other nations…then another tabligh event in sulawesi were carried out too despite being told not to proceed. this virus aint got nothing to do with religion.
Come on claim it!! That’s what indonesia always do, claim everything!!!
Without lock down it’s impossible to control💔
South korea can control corona without lockdown
@mona nis not really
Reminds me Syrian gas attack.
Wake up people. Covid is a fraud.
Stay safe Indonesian brothers! From philippines😷
Prayers from the Philippines, our government as well wasnt prepared and is not handling it well too!
Compare to indonesia philippines is doing well handling their people and the situation
Yea Indonesia keep clear cutting forests you burned all those trees still Indonesia cant added equipment
god can help them
How?
god already give brain dont sleep by the way hope for the best.
Imagine if this was actually one of the really bad viruses that could occur at any time. The world has been living in ignorance I think. Giving priority to the dollar instead of the people.
Yeah. After this, the world will be more vigilant.
yep but many people still think money for everything we should see from many angles not from one side.
Shuh up all
Mount Merapi has been swap the corona with its erruption
Corona virus is the plan if china to weaken the world then let the world countries beg to them because the have the medical factories that supply the world.
The Greedy Government Officials should be behind bars suitable for Life in prison….. Should be ashamed of themselves…… Criminals government officials are Useless.
Being behind the bars is too good for them. Send the corrupt politicians into gas chambers and live stream the act.
completely FAKE staged big time and very easy to see,, they think we are all braindead and under their mainstream mind control,,,lol far from it ,,
Lord help us all
The same is about to happen in Britian and Ireland as the NHS has been brought to it’s knees by the far right Tory party. All while Cuba is sending it’s health worker’s around the world to help others countries. When will people wake up to the fact that capitalism is the biggest danger to human life
I agree. I mean, look at Communism. It’s worked so well around the world and gives people such freedom. Take China for example. The CCP was so open with their covering up of this disaster; an example for us all.
Yang penting masuk surga! Aceh is god’s chosen country, right?? They’ve got nothing to worry about! 🙈
Please help them
I noticed they were draining his urine into an open bucket that’s not good.
Indonesia u let these hero’s die fk u Indonesia take care of these people with good equipment
My God protect all Islam covid-19
They have lots of money to brutalize protestors in West Papua but not to stockpile essential medical items.
S Hussein yes indeed …people stand up and take down rotten governments
Thanks China
No safety use rain suit… goverment corruption
Thos is not ok
President was allow enter sick, but rich Chinese people, after start corona.
…people wanted to change the fake president.
Last year was little revolution.
Where are you ” Muslim ” countries? All muslim countries are puppets.
Except Turkey…..
Ya Allah, Ya Rabbi.
Protect your Ummah, protect our Brothers and Sisters in Indonesia.
Ameen.
It’s going to get bad fast in Indonesia. Thanks a lot China for hiding it in the beginning.
Dengue fever and Covid. These people are brave, but they’re dying from added illnesses and underlying ailments. There’s not 1 person who has died just from the Wuhan virus alone. NONE.
Jessica Washington.
Talk about the truth!
No bla bla bla……..
Just frefuse to work until they get supplies.
You made the wrong news…. not true if 8 doctors and 1 nurse died because contracting the illnese… who died from contracting the illnese are 6 doctors
@jbmb bandung Dinteun ayeuna parantos kasaksian ku lemah cai anu beuki ngahilir leutik dina rarasa leungiteun kanu jadi pangabukti cocobi gusti. Kula nyaranken candakan info oge kanu eta pamangku kapentingan di inews aya anu jadi kabuktianna.
oh no, im in indonesia, im afraid we’ll become the first to collapse into an apocalypse
Go out from that country if u wanna save..
@ปูเป้ ปูเป้ ณสว่าง and infect other ppl?
pray for us, im in indonesia too,
jenny carlson Sorry, Jenny, praying isn’t going to help you this time.
Well thats a good news… right?
They don’t even wash bed sheets in the hospital. I saw them they are filthy. I don’t think they ever been washed. Filthy country, culturally confused people with brains fried from Islam. Pray some more guys see if it works. You would think 270 million people praying 5 time’s per day that Satan, oh sorry Allah would listen. The more you pray the more you suffer.
Indonesian medics need to be given proper gears! Its saddening to see them making their own protective gears, or maybe china could provide them free protective gears, stay safe Indonesian brothers and sisters ❤
💔😔
How can someone die of Bengal fever and corona ?????
They are blaming every death on corona. Wake up people.
They insisted that hot weather will stop the virus… no. It does not😕
They are firing nurses who wear their own masks because they are not being provided in the USA. Doctors & nurses, first responders do NOT have adequate protection! Nobody even cares, especially not the government officials in these cities. It’s sickening.
This is 62++ broo
Don’t be surprised
they should use a vehicle with a trailor behind it to carry the dead
Indonesia has a 10% rate death with their cases and deaths. The negligence will make it another epicentre in Asia.
If the experts are correct in that half the population will be infected, at the current death rate that’s about 12,000,000 dead.
Indonesian is a rich of nature and natural resources…but still poor..why.. corruption…please protect your entire citizens
dumb goverment….this gonna be bad
If you guys want to know, there are some sellers who hoard every medical equipment and them sell it ten-times more expensive. These sellers use this pandemic to seek fortune! Really inhumane!
Hi Indonesian, let us consume DAUN SIRIH, it is very efficient for our body defence, and it is believed able to cure the disease. InshaAllah aameen
@Ine Ernawati
Jangan lupa konsumsi madu ya! Minumnya dinihari, saat Perut kita kosong, efek herbal dari madu akan bekerja lebih baik!
Di Singapore juga pasien covid indonesia yang dipulangkan setelah sembuh disarankan untuk makan itu daun sirih, juga konsumsi vitamin C.
Lupa aku, CUCI dulu itu daun sirih ya
Terimakasih ka info nya, sangat bermanfaat, semoga kita semua di jauhkan dr covid-19.. 👍
@Ine Ernawati
God bless you
Bullshit, tell me why your nation is one of the highest mortality rate in the world? 1.7k infected, 170+ deaths?????? Convince me
Dear oh Dear Mr. Widodo, I wonder if you’re also aware there’s COVID 19 pandemic (hence dire PPEs shortages) as well in all those countries you mentioned as sources where you’d be begging for PPEs from. Good luck finding your masks & other protective equipments 🙄
at this moment, im so thankfull for being malaysian.. with our new gov, new prime minister this is not easy for them to handle it with economy problem and health crisis but so far they doing a very good job, they care for the people. Kudos TSMY. I hope this pandemic will end very soon. Lets fight covid19 with doing absolutely nothing but stay at home 🙂
Pls do not justify for the back door government. PH has done better during 1st wave covid-19. If not due to this betrayal, Msia will not be in this dire situation right now.
@UCqXnDI_1rSrEJNNxNq6DjOQThen use ur democratic right in the election. Pls don’t send wrong msg to our kids, betrayal is the norm to be successful in Msia.
Menteri kesihatan kita Noor Hisham is the best:)
@Azam Workmen89 dr noor hisham tu ketua pengarah kesihatan. menteri kesihatan dr adham baba.
Ameen.. Hope this pandemic end soon. i am very grateful to be an Indonesian citizen. although the central government is not strict. our local government has moved quickly to overcome this pandemic
This is what happens when the government was too lax.. we had two months of preparation and it was squandered. Indonesian leaders are incapable of handling this virus, if we are ever the first to collapse, make our nation an example of what you should not do in a global Pandemic… Stay safe brother and sisters.
We have all the money in the world for expensive weapons but can’t get a hold of N95 mask or protective gear 🤦🏻♂️
Sad but true
Then ask the weapons to fight against covid 19
Because all countries for once are in dire need of the exact same items and you only have limited manufacturers in some countries to produce them. This is akin to global black friday
And i know of one conglomerate family here whose business has nothing to do w producing masks and they re actually doing it now for the need of our country. In the capital, doctors and nurses are staying in a hotel so they dont risk their families to the virus. But we have no enough doctors and nurses specialized in this kind of treatment. Some nurses refused to serve due to lack of protective gear…so all those combined, not surprised we have nearly 10% death here
Health minister says to pray… 🙄
There are many uneducated people in Indonesia and a president that has been too slow to react.
Poor country..
Filled with idiots
@Park Jarmin : Are you Rich, Are your Country Rich? Fxck you Homeless
hahahaha…
@Al Path triggered
Triggered indonesians
Poor country….what do you expect
It seemed only singapore malaysia and brunei are doing really well maybe due to their modern and rich country in ASEAN
Even my country Philippines are struggling
Same here in India , I don’t have any special protection and I have treated so many pnuenomia cases and many have died since January but we diagnosed it as Aspiration Pnuenomia.
Mercy Lord.
God please help us disappear coronavirus
I’m ecstatic. Finally the apocalypse has come!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO
Question: Can the Covid-19 be similar or comparable to that of Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 – 1920.
nop
From malaysia. I pray that you guys will always be under God’s protection. Hope this pandemic ends quickly and I wish the best for our neighbour Indonesia. Stay safe💪🏻
Indonesia wont go i to lockdown. It is a poor country who cant afford to lockdown.. tsk their govt sucks
They have a higher GDP per capita than Vietnam and Philippines. The poorer countries are acting faster than them.
I am Indonesian, I refute the above statement, We have enough medical personnel, even we are doing the construction of a hospital within 8 days, we have a special way of handling covid-19
o really who said that indonesia said like that struggle till need help other country…
Indonesia is big country which 200 million population.. Dont blame the goverment.. You can see USA now become no 1 corona infected country.. With super power why they late to protect their population from covid 19.
Whoever said that this is Tentara Allah IS AN IDIOT!!!
Cat rice can handle corona
Now, we sufficient with protection gear. Designer, garmen factory even personal citizen build it by them own money and donate it
Warning the true situation in Indonesia is very dangerous.
Indonesia’s central government lies with data about cases of victims of the covid virus, the actual number of times reported by the public. This is because the government allows workers from China to enter Indonesia on a large scale during the outbreak.
Now 30 doctors and 4 nurses have died and hundreds of health workers are infected with the virus, and the Indonesian government does not care at all. Health workers lacking tools are forced to use improvised tools
The affected Indonesians were not given help from the government, this is a reality that happened in Indonesia.
Anyone who criticized the government was arrested so that the international community did not know what was happening in Indonesia now.
This is what I’m talking about. And still no lockdown right? Fishy
Sumpah sedari dulu sampe sekarang inj media selalu muncul2in kejelekan indonesia bahakan negara2 berkembang lain di buka semua image jeleknya,tempat2 kumuh di publish,kemiskinan di publish,tapi sisi positif gk pernah di publish kecuali negara2 barat doang,,ini media memang tolol
faktanya memang begitu.
aneh komen lu.
ini bukan saatnya bagus2an berita.
mikir kalau komen !
Medical stuff will die if they are not wearing PPE
Hope this pandemic end soon. I am very grateful to be an Indonesian. although the central government is not strict. our local government has moved quickly to overcome this pandemic
