The upbeat assessment came as Indonesia - which has one of the world's lowest per-capita testing rates - saw record new cases on three successive days last week, when 11% of its total 177,571 infections were recorded. Its 7,505 COVID-19 deaths are the most in Southeast Asia. REUTERS/Ajeng Dinar Ulfiana
