JAKARTA - Hospitals in Indonesia’s second largest city of Surabaya have been overwhelmed by a surge of new coronavirus cases, forcing them to turn patients away, the Indonesian Medical Association said on Thursday.
“What we can observe is that the number of patients and the number of beds is not balanced,” Sutrisno, chairman of the East Java branch of the Indonesian Medical Association, told Reuters.Since May 1, the number of cases in the province has risen more than 300% to stand at 4,313 by Thursday, while the rise in Jakarta has been just over 60%, to 7,001.
“We’re grateful the situation in Surabaya is still under control, though there are medics who have been infected, so some hospitals had to be closed because they couldn’t admit more patients,” he said. “They were full.”
