I wrote the above before checking today’s news: Only 27 further cases, but a government official infected and 1 more death. The article also says that cases were in many different parts of Jakarta, and some in other parts of the country. At the same time, the Indonesian authorities say that the reason why they detected all those cases is because they did “massive contact tracing,” suggesting between the lines that this isn’t yet evidence of even more widespread community transmission than already acknowledged.
Edit2: Australia may have caught another infected person with Indonesia as travel history. (I say may have because there’s a small chance that this refers to the initial case from 5 days ago; however, some of the wording somewhat strongly suggests it’s a second, new case.)

Edit: On the same day, Singapore gets 2 positive tests with a direct connection to Indonesia.
