English to Indonesian: Indonesia Imports Oxygen As Hospitals Battered By Covid-19 General field: Other Detailed field: General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Source text - English Indonesia is sourcing emergency oxygen for virus patients from neighboring Singapore and calling for help from other nations including China with the country slammed by its deadliest Covid-19 wave, the government said Tuesday. Around 10,000 concentrators -- devices that generate oxygen -- were to be shipped from the city-state with some arriving by a Hercules cargo plane earlier on Tuesday, officials said. "We have communicated with Singapore, China, and other sources" for help, Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said, quoted by AFP.
"We will also order (oxygen) from other countries if we still feel that the supplies are insufficient." Luhut ordered all the nation's oxygen supplies sent to hospitals overflowing with coronavirus patients on Monday, warning Indonesia could face a "worst-case scenario" where infections skyrocket to 50,000 a day, a crisis driven by the highly infectious Delta variant. Luhut also said the government has plans to have accommodation infrastructure, including disused buildings, ready to be converted into isolation facilities in the worst-case scenario, Reuters reported. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that the government was adding nearly 8,000 new beds within the Greater Jakarta area, and was closely watching Sumatra and Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo island, amid a rise in cases of the Delta variant first detected in India.
The country reported 29,745 new infections and 558 deaths on Monday, both daily records, after the government last week ordered fresh virus curbs in the hard-hit capital Jakarta, across Java, and on holiday island Bali. The country's overwhelmed healthcare system is reeling as jammed hospitals turn away patients, forcing desperate families to hunt for oxygen tanks to treat the sick and dying at home. More than a dozen hospitals in Surabaya are now full and not taking any more patients, authorities said. "The health system is on the verge of collapse; hospitals are already being overwhelmed, oxygen supplies are running out and health services in Java and Bali are woefully ill-equipped to handle this surge in critically ill patients," NGO Save the Children said in a statement. Indonesia has seen its daily caseload more than quadruple in less than a month and its tally stands at 2.3 million cases and 61,140 deaths.
That figure is widely believed to be a severe undercount due to low testing and poor tracing measures. Daily Covid-19 burials in the hard-hit capital Jakarta are up 10-fold since May, the government has said.Indonesia is scrambling to ramp up plans to innoculate over 180 million of its nearly 270 million people by early next year. But so far only about five percent of the total population has received two jabs.
Translation - Indonesian Indonesia lagi dapat pasokan oksigen darurat untuk pasien virus Covid-19 dari negara tetangga seperti Singapura dan juga meminta bantuan dari negara lain seperti China yang negara nya terkena gelombang Covid-19 sangat mematikan, menurut Pemerintah hari Selasa. Sekitar 10.000 konsentrator – alat untuk menghasilkan oksigen – hendak dikirim ke pusat kota negara melalui pesawat kargo Hercules dimana sebelumnya datang di hari Selasa, ujar beberapa pejabat. “Kami sudah berbicara dengan pihak Singapura,China dan sumber lainnya perihal bantuan.” ujar Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, dikutip dari AFP.
"Kami juga ingin memesan (oksigen) dari negara lain jika kami masih merasa pasokannya tidak tercukupi." Luhut meminta pasokan oksigen semua negara yang dikirim ke rumah sakit banyak pasien virus corona pada hari Senin, diingatkan kalau Indonesia mampu menghadapi "skenario buruknya" di mana infeksi naik meningkat sampai 50.000 per hari, krisis yang begitu parah oleh varian Delta yang cepat menular. Luhut juga berbicara bahwa pemerintah punya rencana untuk infrastruktur akomodasi, misal untuk bekas bangunan, yang siap diubah jadi fasilitas isolasi dalam skenario buruknya, lapor Reuters. Menteri Kesehatan Budi Gunadi Sadikin menanggapi hal pemerintah menambahkan 8.000 tempat tidur yang baru di daerah Jabodetabek, dan mengawasi Sumatera dan Kalimantan, bagian Indonesia dari pulau Kalimantan, di antara peningkatan kasus varian Delta pertama kalinya terdeteksi di India.
Negara tersebut melapor ada 29.745 infeksi baru dan 558 kematian di hari Senin, keduanya termasuk daripada catatan harian, setelah pemerintah minggu lalu memerintahkan pembatasan virus baru di ibu kota terdampak seperti Jakarta, di seluruh Jawa, dan di pulau liburan Bali. Sistem perawatan kesehatan cukup kelelahan di negara itu makin terguncang saat rumah sakit mulai tersendat untuk menolak pasien nya, hingga memaksa keluarga hingga putus asa ingin mencari tangki oksigen untuk merawat orang sakit dan terlihat sesak di rumah itu. Lebih dari selusin rumah sakit di Surabaya sekarang penuh dan tidak ingin terima pasien lagi, ujar pihak berwenang. "Sistem kesehatan sudah di ambang kehancuran nya; rumah sakit sudah lelah, pasokan oksigen habis juga layanan kesehatan di Jawa dan Bali sudah tidak siap lagi dalam tangani naiknya pasien yang semakin parah sakitnya ini," ujar LSM Save the Children dari sebuah penyataan nya. Indonesia sudah mengalami beban kasus harian lebih dari empat kali lipat dalam kurun waktu kurang dari sebulan lalu perhitungan mencapai 2,3 juta kasus dan 61.140 kematian.
Angka ini secara luas diyakini jadi berkurang yang cukup parah akibat pengujian yang rendah dan langkah-langkah pencarian nya sangat buruk. Pemakaman Covid-19 harian di ibu kota dilanda bencana seperti Jakarta meningkat sampai 10 kali lipat sejak Mei, ujar pemerintah. Indonesia lagi berjuang untuk tingkatkan rencana dalam menginokulasi lebih daripada 180 juta dari dekat 270 juta penduduknya saat awal tahun nanti. Tapi sejauh ini baru sekitar lima persen dari total penduduk yang baru mendapat dua suntikkan.
