years. isn't that the canister? was been peaceful and now we are growing and therefore it's becoming a battle ground that $1.01 we're making progress, the chair of the last several years why we want to still that indonesia has recorded its biggest daily increasing corona virus infections with more than 54000 cases, helpful authority say the delta variant is responsible for more than 90 percent of recent cases. despite new containment measures, the government says vaccine efficacy is weaker against the delta variant, but is still urging people to get an okey later to help prevent serious illness and death. jessica washington joins us now live from jakarta with more. jessica, so indonesia is passing. india really, as a his cove, it's f p center. what does that look like on the ground

has been the worst effected country in se asia. now in recent days, we've seen that indonesia is now covered epi center in asia, surpassing even the daily caseload and india, despite the huge differences in population and that indonesia has a significantly smaller population. what that looks like on the ground, a similar to what we saw in india just a few months ago where hospitals are overwhelmed and forced to turn away critically ill patients where even the public health clinics that a trust with picking up some of that overflow of patients that hospitals cannot assist are also overwhelmed. and increasingly the most disturbing trend that we are seeing is that people are dying at home in isolation without even the prospect or the hope of medical care or treatment. the government is trying to relieve some of that pressure on health care systems here in java. we're actually at an emergency

hospital which actually was a dormitory that has now been re purpose and will be used to treat patients requiring intensive care. and those with moderate symptoms as well. the government says it is trying to address some of the shortages in medication and oxygen. but most importantly, in health care workers, there will be 2000 new medical graduates being deployed to coven 1900 hospitals, as well as 20000 nurses. but what we're seeing right now is signs of serious strain here in the capital jakarta, but particularly across java as indonesia grappled with this surge in transmission . the tough job to new medical graduates going straight into this. a tough coven wave. jessica authorities prepare. and really for the worst case scenario, what does that mean? well, it, it is difficult to say because it was only

a few weeks ago that the government was talking about the worst case scenario being 50000 daily cases. but that's not the worst case scenario anymore. that's the reality on the ground. and in fact, things are experts say things are likely to be much worse that indonesia has struggled consistently with low rates of testing. so the data shocking and disturbing as it is, does not reveal the true extent of the crisis here in java and authorities that say they are now working towards the situation of having potentially 100000 cases each day. and they're trying to prepare oxygen in the instance that that does happen. but the worst case scenario that we're hearing from epi jimmy ologist here in indonesia is that even though jakarta has been hit so badly by this current wave of infections that the hospital system, the hospital here, a much better equipped than in most parts of the country the concern is that we are seeing an increase in cases in tomato, in west papa in kelly, montana,

and other parts of the country in particular in remote parts of the country that do not have adequate health care infrastructure to deal with the 3rd in cases. right, i'll do those. jessica washington, thank you. malaysia government is increasing the number of hospitals dedicated to coven 19 patients. it's buying more beds and oxygen tanks. 13000 new infections were reported on thursday. a record high. florence lloyd has more from them for while health official save a number of new cases is expected to increase because the highly infectious delta varian has been detected in nearly every state. now the numbers do paint around the picture. there now more than 100000 active cases, that's a record high for malaysia. the number of new infections continues to outpace recoveries. health officials are allocating more resources and that includes allocating more funds so that private hospitals can taken non cove at $900.00

patients. this is necessary because more hospitals are non going to be converted to full cove at $900.00 hospitals. they're going to be more beds as well. and health care workers are going to be mobilized from other states to the worst effected areas of florida, state and quality. now, hospitals which have had trouble finding space to store bodies and ongoing to be getting containers to function as temporary monks. they're also plans to make self, has kids go on to make a big available on sale? the hope is that new detection, new infections can be detected and isolated quickly. health officials say vaccination is the answer to this problem. but malaysia is planning to meet its target of fully vaccinating 40 percent of its population by the end of august and 60 percent by the end of september. but that's also provided that there are no delays. in fact seen supplies. the dont government is urging people to work from
