As of 20 December, the Indonesian Government has announced 664,930 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in all 34 provinces in Indonesia, with 19,880 confirmed deaths from the virus, and 541,811 people that have recovered from the illness. The government has also reported 66,702 suspected cases.
On 16 December, the Indonesian President announced that the COVID-19 vaccine will be provided free of charge for all citizens. As recommended by ITAGI (Indonesian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization) and SAGE (Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization), the Ministry of Health will prioritize health workers and people working in health service facilities to be vaccinated, especially in Java and Bali due to the high number of COVID-19 cases in these two islands.
