JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Indonesian President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has instructed his officials to prioritize the Covid-19 handling in 12 regencies and cities that have more than 1,000 active cases.

Jokowi has given officials two weeks to effect this change in response to growing case numbers of Covid-19 patients who undergo treatment or self-isolation.
