Indonesian doctors have seen a spike in coronavirus deaths and cases among children.
This rise has been charted since the Delta variant spread in July this year.
More than 1,272 children have died in the country in total, according to the Ministry of Health’s figures.
Deaths of under-18s make up around 1% of Indonesia’s total Covid-19 death toll which remains higher than the average worldwide at 0.3%, UNICEF reported on August 24 based on data from 79 countries.
In August, at least 228 people aged under-18 died before the end of the month.
