5. Flooding in Jakarta The flooding, caused by days of heavy rain at Jakarta, has blocked roads and forced businesses in the capital to close. The governor of Jakarta has declared a state of emergency. He also said he was committed to making a "breakthrough" in efforts to tackle the flooding. Jakarta resident, Wildan , urged the government to do more to stop floods in the future. "The dams are no longer sufficient to hold the water," he said. Yayat Supriatna , an urban planning expert, told the BBC that Jakarta's drainage system "is still the same as it was in the Dutch colonial era" and should be rebuilt. "The floods are caused by the failure to manage and sustain the rivers as water reservoirs. I suggest the governor dredge the rivers because if the rivers are deeper the better [the system] will function." The Jakarta Post said two of the people killed in the capital were children, aged 13 and two. State funds are available to help those affected by the flooding following the declaration of a state of emergency, which will remain in effect until 27 January.

6. Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19 ) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well-informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow). At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.
