Indonesia needs to perform "massive" testing to reveal the full spread of the coronavirus and ensure that people who travel home during the approaching Muslim holiday isolate themselves, the governor of the archipelago's most populous province said.
Indonesia's coronavirus death toll rose to 170 on Thursday as the world's fourth-most populous nation passed
South Korea as the country with the highest number of recorded fatalities in Asia after China.
Ridwan Kamil, the governor of West Java, said his province had conducted more than 25,000 "rapid tests" and around 500 were positive, though they would need to undergo further tests to confirm the results.
