Indonesia needs faster vaccination rollout to battle against COVID-19 spike Emergency oxygen supplies and a faster vaccination rollout are desperately needed in Indonesia, health experts say, amid a spike in cases and the emergence of the highly infectious Kappa variant. On 12 July, official sources reported 40,427 new cases and 891 new deaths -- an increase of over 10,000 in less than a week, according to data collected by Worldometer. Overall, Indonesia has reported 2,567,630 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 16 th highest in the world, and 67,355 deaths since the outbreak began last year. Less than 48 million vaccine doses have been administered in a country with a population of more than 276 million people.
