Indonesia had conducted coronavirus tests on 9,700 people as of Saturday (4/4). Compared to the population, this is only 36 people per one million inhabitants.
The increase in the number of Covid-19 tests domestically has been slow. The ratio, which was one person per one million inhabitants on March 1, 2020, only increased to 25 people per one million inhabitants by the end of last month.
Indonesia is now conducting initial coronavirus examinations using blood samples (rapid tests) to detect antibodies. If the result is positive, the patient will undergo a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test to confirm the presence of the coronavirus; if the result is negative, the test will be repeated 10 days later.
