Indonesia is sourcing emergency oxygen for virus patients from neighbouring Singapore and calling for help from other countries including China with the archipelago slammed by its deadliest Covid-19 wave, the government said.
Around 10,000 concentrators — devices that generate oxygen — were to be shipped from the city-state with some arriving by a Hercules cargo plane earlier on Tuesday, officials said.
“We have communicated with Singapore, China, and other sources” for help, senior minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said. “We will also order (oxygen) from other countries if we still feel that the supplies are insufficient.”
