12.5 percent of the nation's confirmed cases are children. The biggest Surge the world has ever encountered. 

As indonesia wrestles with its biggest wave in COVID-19 cases, the infection measure for children is amongst the highest in the world, estimating for one in eight or 362,000 verified cases, according to the Indonesian Paediatric Society.

As Indonesian generals face critique for having been inexperienced, there have been over 100 deaths each week in July.

The death rate of children, in indonesia, is the highest in the world. Are we ready to give the best for our children? Is the indian Government prepared to face the surge?

Surpassing brazil and India’s daily COVID positive cases and death numbers, indonesia has become the new global COVID epicenter.

Restrictions Relaxed Despite Warnings

Despite viewing over 38,000 positive cases on Sunday, 25 July, President Joko Widodo relaxed the restrictions for an extra week till 2 August. This also reaches in the face of warnings that relaxed restrictions could begin another wave of COVID infections.

The Delta variant has mopped through not just indonesia, but completely Southeast Asia, especially where vaccination measures are low, causing outbreaks in most countries as well.

12.5 Percent of Confirmed COVID Cases- Children

More than 800 kids have died since the pandemic started, but the majority of those losses have happened only in the past month.

Till now, children have been the covered victims of this pandemic. But not anymore.

Not only countries like indonesia witnessing record numbers of kids dying from the virus but we’re also heeding an alarming rise in children dropping out on customary vaccinations and nourishment services that are crucial for their survival, which should strike major alarm bells.

Further, similar to other countries, indonesia does not immunize children under 12 and only newly began vaccinating those between 12 and 18. But we haven't started it yet!! How are we going to protect?
