Vaccination Roll out in Kudus.3 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) World Health CoronavirusCoronavirus Disease Disease 2019 2019 (COVID (COVID-19) -19) World Health OrganizationOrganization Situation Report - 59 Situationn Report - 7 Indonesia Indonesia 16 JuneData 2021 as of 07 May 2020 HIGHLIGHTS • As of 16 June, the Government of Indonesia reported 1 937 652 (9944 new) confirmed cases of COVID-19, 53 476 (196 new) deaths and 1 763 870 recovered cases from 510 districts across all 34 provinces.1 • With increased transmission due to variants of concern (VOCs), urgent action is needed to contain the situation in many provinces. Drastic increase in bed occupancy rates this week in high-risk provinces is a major concern and necessitates the implementation of stricter public health and social measures including large-scale social restrictions (pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB)). • WHO supported a webinar as part of the ‘2021 U.S. – ASEAN Women’s Leadership Academy for Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative’ and discussed the role of women during the COVID-19 pandemic (page 19).

On 12 June, the National COVID-19 Task Force (Satuan Tugas (Satgas)) reported that provinces with the highest number of new confirmed cases were DKI Jakarta, Central Java, West Java, DI Yogyakarta and Riau. On 10 June, Satgas reported that the bed occupancy rate (BOR) in several provinces in Java has reached more than 50%, including in Banten, DKI Jakarta, West Java, DI Yogyakarta and Central Java.2 The greatest increase in the number of cases and BOR was in Kudus, Central Java and Bangkalan, East Java. The Ministry of Health (MoH) continues to strengthen the COVID-19 response in these two districts, in collaboration with multiple stakeholders including the National Army (TNI) and Police (Polri). MoH has also distributed around 50 000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines to accelerate vaccination roll out in Kudus.3 • On 10 June, Indonesia received an additional 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, which was part of the 11.7 million doses of the vaccine allocated from the COVAX Facility. With this addition, MoH reported that Indonesia has received approximately 8.2 million doses of the vaccine from the COVAX Facility.4 • To accelerate the national COVID-19 vaccination roll out, MoH approved DKI Jakarta provincial government’s request to start vaccinating residents aged 18 years and older. The decision also took into consideration the recent increasing trend in the number of COVID-19 cases in the province.5 On 9 June, DKI Jakarta started to vaccinate certain groups of foreigners. Foreigners who are eligible to receive vaccination through the government’s vaccination programme have to hold a valid residence certificate (Surat Keterangan Tempat Tinggal (SKTT)) or a foreigner identification card and meet one of the following criteria: (1) a teacher/lecturer or supporting staff who works in schools/universities, (2) aged 60 years or older, or (3) living in vulnerable areas with high risk of COVID-19 transmission.6 2 https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2021/06/13/07564991/penambahan-covid-19-dan-tingginya-lonjakan-kasus- di-pulau-jawa?page=all 3 https://www.kompas.com/sains/read/2021/06/12/160200123/lonjakan-kasus-covid-19-di-bangkalan-dan-kudus- ppkm-mikro-diperketat?page=all 4 https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2021/06/10/22590691/15-juta-dosis-vaksin-covid-19-astrazeneca-tiba-di- indonesia 5 https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/news/20210608193623-4-251567/resmi-warga-dki-18-tahun-ke-atas-sudah- bisa-vaksinasi-covid 6 https://jakartaglobe.id/news/jakarta-allows-some-foreigners-to-receive-free-covid19-vaccine-shots/ 2 WHO Indonesia Situation Report - 59 who.int/indonesia SURVEILLANCE • On 16 June, 9944 new and 1 937 652 cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported nationwide (Fig. 2).

Daily and cumulative number of cases reported in Indonesia, as of 16 June 2021. Source of data Disclaimer: The number of cases reported daily is not the number of persons who contracted COVID-19 on that day and might be influenced by the number of people tested on that day (see Fig. 17); reporting of laboratory-confirmed results may take up to one week from the time of testing. Therefore, caution must be taken in interpreting this figure and the epidemiological curve for further analysis, either at the national or subnational level. 3 WHO Indonesia Situation Report - 59 who.int/indonesia • During the week of 7 to 13 June, the provinces that experienced an increase in the number of weekly cases of more than 50% compared to the previous week were Papua (967%)*, Southeast Sulawesi (205%), DKI Jakarta (123%), South Sulawesi (82%), Maluku (81%), North Maluku (81%), Central Java (73%), Gorontalo (62%), Banten (61%), DI Yogyakarta (61%), Jambi (58%) and East Java (52%) (Fig. 3). It is critical to investigate reasons for the increase in new confirmed cases to guide response decisions and inform the adjustment of public health and social measures (PHSM). Southeast Sulawesi DKI Jakarta South Sulawesi Maluku North Maluku Central Java Gorontalo Banten DI Yogyakarta Jambi East Java Central Sulawesi West Java North Sumatra West Kalimantan Bengkulu Lampung Aceh Central Kalimantan Bali Riau Islands South Sumatra East Kalimantan West Sumatra North Sulawesi South Kalimantan East Nusa Tenggara Riau West Papua North Kalimantan Bangka Belitung Islands West Sulawesi West Nusa Tenggara -100% -50% 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% 250% Percentage change of weekly number of confirmed cases Fig. 3. Percentage change of weekly number of confirmed cases by province during 7 to 13 June 2021 compared to the previous week. Source of data Disclaimer: The number of weekly confirmed cases is calculated taking into consideration the daily number of reported cases. It is important to conduct further investigation if there is a substantial change in new cases, especially in provinces with a change of 50% or more. Other factors, such as testing and contact tracing, may help elucidate the reasons behind substantial changes. Additional indicators, including case incidence and mortality, should be considered to guide adjustment of PHSM. *Papua (967% change based on increase from 12 to 128 weekly cases) is not shown in the graph. Papua had internet connectivity issues from 13 May to 7 June which affected data reporting. 4 WHO Indonesia Situation Report - 59 who.int/indonesia • During the week of 7 to 13 June, the incidence7 of COVID-19 in Indonesia increased to 16.6 per 100 000 population, compared to 14.6 per 100 000 in the previous week (Fig. 4).

Incidence of COVID-19 per 100 000 population per week averaged over a two-week period reported in Indonesia from 13 April 2020 (when Indonesia first reported community transmission in the country) to 13 June 2021, classified by level of community transmission (CT): CT1: low incidence; CT2: moderate incidence; CT3: high incidence; CT4: very high incidence. Source of data Disclaimer: There are seven categories for transmission classification: (1) no (active) cases; (2) imported/sporadic cases; (3) cluster of cases; (4) community transmission 1 (CT1); (5) community transmission 2 (CT2); (6) community transmission 3 (CT3); and (7) community transmission 4 (CT4). Caution should be exercised when interpreting this indicator due to limitations listed in the WHO interim guidance. Other epidemiological indicators also need to be evaluated to decide on the level of community transmission. This disclaimer applies to indicators at national (Fig. 4) and subnational levels (Figs. 5 to 11). 7 Weekly incidence of COVID-19 is calculated as the number of new cases per 100 000 population per week averaged over a two-week period. Source of population data 5 WHO Indonesia Situation Report - 59 who.int/indonesia • During the week of 7 to 13 June, the incidence rates of COVID-19 per 100 000 population were 84.4 in Riau Islands, 73.1 in DKI Jakarta and 61.2 in Bangka Belitung Islands; these rates correspond to community transmission level 3 (Fig.

Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

  • Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Abstract: This article examines the religious specificities of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region. The main characteristics of this process reside in a link between commerce and Muslim networks, a strong cosmopolitism, a variety of the Islam practices, the large number of brotherhoods’ followers and the popularity of esoteric practices. These specificities implicate that the Islamizing of the region was very progressive within period of time and the processes of conversion also generated inter-influence with local religious practices and cosmologies. As a consequence, the widespread assertion that Banten is a bastion of religious orthodoxy and the image the region suffers today as hosting bases of rigorist movements may be nuanced by the variety of the forms that Islam took through history. The dominant media- centered perspective also eludes the fact that cohabitation between religion and ritual initiation still composes the authority structure. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge of this phenomenon. Keywords: Islam, Banten, sultanate, initiation, commerce, cosmopolitism, brotherhoods. 1 Banten is well-known by historians to have been, during the Dutch colonial period at the XIXth century, a region where the observance of religious duties, like charity (zakat) and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), was stronger than elsewhere in Java1. In the Indonesian popular vision, it is also considered to have been a stronghold against the Dutch occupation, and the Bantenese have the reputation to be rougher than their neighbors, that is the Sundanese. This image is mainly linked to the extended practice of local martial arts (penca) and invulnerability (debus) which are widespread and still transmitted in a number of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

    Ecoescapes Eco Heroes Gypsy Spots Bazaar About Blog ecoescapes Edition 03 - Indonesia, Jul. 14 East Indonesia – Wakatobi Dive Resort, Southeast Sulawesi On the small island of Onemobaa in the South Sulawesi Sea, a luxurious eco resort overlooks one of the nest white sand beaches in the region. But as appealing as the surroundings are, it is what lies beneath the nearby waters that have earned Wakatboi Dive Resort world-wide recognition among diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, and the accolades of conservationists for the innovative conservation practices that were an integral cornerstone of the resort’s founding. Wakatobi is situated within the famed ‘Coral Triangle,” an area between Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea that harbors the world’s greatest coral reef bio-diversity. These waters are home to more than 500 species of reef building corals and in excess of 2,000 species of reef sh. The Wakatobi archipelago takes its name from a compilation of the rst two letters of four major islands in the group—Wangi- wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko. The reefs surrounding these islands have long been recognized as some of the nest in Indonesia, if not the world. In 2012 the area was designated a UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve. Years before any such international recognition, or the founding of the Wakatobi National Park, the founders of Wakatobi Dive Resort realized the unique beauty of this then little-known destination, and also the importance of protecting this natural resource. Soon after locating the beachfront property that would become the resort, they began negotiations with local shermen and villagers, which led to the creation of a conservation program that invested the community in continued health and protection of the reefs.
