Indonesia has warned it is bracing for a punishing surge in COVID-19 cases as its daily toll soared to a record 728 deaths and hospitals crumble under the weight of the country s deadliest wave yet.
Emergency oxygen supplies for virus patients were being flown in from neighbouring Singapore, while the government said Southeast Asia s worst-hit nation could see cases soar to more than 50,000 a day.
Hospitals in the hard-hit capital Jakarta were topping 90 percent occupancy and more than a dozen facilities in Indonesia s second-biggest city Surabaya shut out new patients because they could no longer handle the huge influx.

In Mongolia, hospitals are overwhelmed. In the tiny archipelago of Seychelles, more than 100 new Covid-19 cases are being reported each day. And in Chile, a nationwide lockdown was lifted this week but the country is still reporting thousands of daily cases.
What links these countries is that they have each fully inoculated more than 50% of their populations, largely with Chinese-made coronavirus vaccines. And that’s raised questions over the vaccines’ efficacy.
If the Chinese vaccines aren’t working, that’s a huge problem and not just from a health perspective. Beijing has staked its reputation on providing other countries with vaccines.
