A British tourist became Indonesia’s first coronavirus death during a family holiday in Bali.
The 53-year old was admitted to hospital feeling unwell last week.
Health officials said she had a range of underlying health issues.
"The patient had severe illnesses including diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroid and lung disease," said Achmad Yurianto, a spokesman for the government’s coronavirus response team.
Her husband is also in hospital under observation and, according to some reports, her four children were placed in quarantine at a Bali hotel.
She arrived in Bali on February 29 and complained of a fever on March 3, officials said.
Local covid-19 task force leader Dewa Made Indra said authorities have traced more than 20 people across the island who came into contact with the family.
Indonesia only announced its first covid-19 case this month after repeated denials the virus was present.
It now has 34 confirmed cases, mostly in Jakarta.
There are currently nine tourists in Bali under observation awaiting test results.
