The first official testing protocol for COVID-19 was published on March 16, just two weeks after the Ministry of Health reported the first case. Not long after the first protocol was published, the Ministry of Health (MoH) expanded designated test centres to ten MoH owned laboratories across Indonesia. Only after the President formally instructed to expand the testing capacity in the early April 2020 (4 weeks after the initial confirmed case was recorded), then the health authority started to decentralise the testing process to 48 public-owned laboratories. The first category is called person under surveillance which is defined as individuals who have mild acute respiratory infection symptoms with travel history from outbreak area or history of close contact to confirmed cases. ./cache/cord-311210-q92xft2b.txt ./txt/cord-311210-q92xft2b.txt
