Indonesia accused of carrying out a coronavirus cover-up

Indonesia has recorded abnormally low numbers of coronavirus cases which has brought government officials into question for downplaying the impact of the pandemic and distorting figures.

Indonesia, which has a population of 268 million people, has reported 12,000 COVID-19 cases and 800 deaths.

Analysts say this is an incredibly low figure which could be explained by the lack of testing carried out across the nation.
