MANTRA SUKABUMI – On Tuesday December 1, 2020, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said he tested positive for Covid-19.
The 51-year-old governor of Southeast Asia’s largest city was among several politicians and officials who contracted the virus.

“I want to remind everyone that Covid-19 is still there and it can attack anyone,” he said. As quoted by mantrasukabumi.com from channelnewsasia.com.
His deputy, Ahmad Riza Patria, also tested positive for the virus on Sunday, according to the city’s website. Indonesia, a country of 270 million people, recorded the highest case record in three days last week.
With more than 530,000 infections and nearly 17,000 deaths, the country has the highest count in Southeast Asia, although some health experts say limited testing and contact tracing outweigh a much higher case load.
Bustling city Jakarta also posted a record for new infections last month, averaging around 1,240 cases a day last week.
