JAKARTA, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia had reached 34 with one death, the Indonesian government said on Wednesday.
"Today, we have seven new cases," government spokesperson for all coronavirus-related matters Achmad Yurianto said at the State Palace in Jakarta, adding that all were imported cases.
Yurianto said earlier that one patient tested positive for the virus died Wednesday at around 2 a.m. local time. The deceased, identified as a British national, died on the holiday island of Bali.
The woman in her 50s had a fever on March 3 and was admitted to a hospital as her condition was not getting better.
Yurianto said the patient had diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and lung disease.
Including the deceased, Indonesia has recorded 34 cases of COVID-19 infections.
Two of the patients have left hospitals as they have been confirmed negative following their tests.
"However, they are still required to self-quarantine at their homes," Yurianto said.
