Indonesia is banning people from leaving or entering a health facility in Jakarta after it detected its first case of omicron variant there.
A few towers at the Wisma Atlet compound in Jakarta will be locked down to prevent the variant from spreading widely, said Jodi Mahardi, spokesman for the coordinating ministry of maritime and investment affairs. A cleaning staff at the facility was found to have been infected with the strain when tested on Dec. 15, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said in a Thursday briefing.
