Retno said another 485 foreign nationals are currently under observation by authorities. “Of the [485 foreign nationals] under observation, 265 have already been repatriated,” she said without specifying their nationalities. “The Indonesian Foreign Ministry continues to communicate with the embassies of the foreigner's home countries.”

Indonesia has the second highest number of coronavirus cases in the ASEAN region after Singapore. The city state has 37.910 cases, but much fewer fatalities at 25 due to stringent countermeasures. The Philippines comes in third with 21.895 cases and 1.003 deaths.
