Indonesia sees rate of coronavirus infections lower by June - task force chief

Indonesia expects the rate of coronavirus infections to fall by June, its COVID-19 task force chief Doni Monardo said on Monday.

"The President has asked that we work harder, for the people to obey and be more disciplined, and for the authorities to be more stern so that by June, we're hoping we can lower the infections in Indonesia. In July, we're hoping to resume our normal lives," Monardo said after a cabinet meeting.

Monardo pledged to increase tests between April and May "massively".
