Anies Baswedan, the governor of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, said he has tested positive for Covid-19, as the world’s fourth most populous country struggles to contain a spike in the number of infections.
The 51-year-old governor of Southeast Asia’s biggest city is among a number of politicians and officials to contract the virus. Indonesia’s transportation and religious affairs ministers have previously been treated for the virus.
Indonesia, a country of 270 million people, has posted three days of record-high case numbers in the past week.
