Two locally employed staff at U.S. foreign missions, one in Indonesia and one in the Democratic Republic of Congo, have died of the coronavirus, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday, its first pandemic-related losses among staff.
The employees were based in U.S. embassies in Jakarta and Kinshasa, a representative for the State Department said.
The coronavirus outbreak has now killed more than 38,800 people across the world and infected nearly 800,000, according to a Reuters tally. It has upended normal life, closed schools, forced industries to a standstill and has already triggered layoffs worldwide. In Indonesia, the world’s fourth-most-populous country, known cases of the disease have gone from none in early March to 1,528, with 136 deaths.
