Hundreds of Indonesian public servants have been struck down by the coronavirus, with bureaucrats in the Health Ministry the worst affected

.

Minister for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo tested positive earlier this month and three director-generals in his ministry - the equivalent of a deputy secretary in the Australian Public Service - have since fallen ill, with one dying on Monday. Religious Affairs Minister Fachrul Razi also tested positive this month.The statistics for infection clusters, including in government ministries across the capital, were last updated on September 18.

However, testing is far more readily available in Jakarta than in most of the other 33 provinces and it is likely this has contributed to the capital's proportionally high case numbers.
