The Indonesian government announced on Thursday (August 27th) that it had tested 1,233,486 people for COVID-19. This resulted in a testing rate of 4,510 people per one million population.
This testing rate of approximately 4,500 people per one million population is still below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. The WHO emphasizes that each country should at least test 1 person per 1,000 people every week. Currently, Indonesia's testing rate is only 0.46 per 1,000 people in the last week.
