The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that Covid-19 is now being spread mainly by people in their 20s, 30s and 40s who may be unaware they are infected, potentially transmitting the disease to more vulnerable groups.
In a virtual briefing, WHO’s Western Pacific regional director Takeshi Kasai said:
The epidemic is changing… People in their 20s, 30s and 40s are increasingly driving the spread. Many are unaware they are infected. This increases the risk of spillovers to the more vulnerable.
Indonesia has reported 1,673 new coronavirus infections, bringing the total number of cases in the Southeast Asian nation to 143,043, data from the country’s health ministry showed. The data recorded an additional 70 deaths, taking the total to 6,277.
