Indonesia is extending its tightest mobility curbs for another week until Aug. 2 as cases remain high following near month-long restrictions. Indonesia’s confirmed Covid-19 cases have jumped back to more than 40,000 a day after declining from over 56,000 on July 15, while fatality numbers remain at near record highs. The nation registered 38,679 more cases and 1,266 new fatalities on Sunday, according to health ministry data. More than 90% of those who died from the virus were unvaccinated, Health Deputy Minister Dante Saksono Harbuwono said earlier on Sunday. Among almost 2,000 fully vaccinated people, only four died from the disease, showing a case fatality rate of 0.21%.
