Here are the basic statistics as of Wednesday nationally, and as of last Sunday for Jakarta. They are updating the Jakarta figures on about a weekly basis, so all we can do in order to give you daily figures, is to average out over the missing days - which is not entirely satisfactory. We do not know whether this will change after Ramadan. In any case, the government has stated that the pandemic emergency is not over, and will not be saying anything further about this until May at the earliest. You will note that reported infections are trending upwards, but not followed by deaths, thank goodness.

We have been sending this update to you on a weekly basis recently, down from biweekly, but it may be that you no longer need even this weekly update. Peter will continue to update the figures daily, as he has done for the past three years, but we will simply post the update on our website. If you do in fact want to receive it in your email weekly, we can certainly do this. Otherwise this is the last of the updates we will send out to all.
