TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto announced that the government would isolate the home of Indonesia’s first two COVID-19 coronavirus patients who were officially confirmed positive on March 1.

“Following the Health Agency’s procedure. [the government] will monitor and isolate the home of two of our citizens who are positive for COVID-19,” said Terawan at the State Palace on Monday, March 2. 

Previously reported, President Jokowi announced the country's first two coronavirus cases, a mother of 61 years of age and her 31-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, Health Minister Terawan explained that the two Depok citizens were infected by COVID-19 after the daughter’s interaction with a Japanese national living in Malaysia who was traveling to Indonesia. 

“The Japanese national started to fall ill after he returned to Malaysia. The person tested positive,” Terawan announced.
