Indonesia has become the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic in Asia.
And as with much of Indonesia, the country's eastern-most provinces of Papua and West Papua are struggling to contain the spread of Covid, with the Delta variant on the loose.
Health authorities there have reported almost 47-thousand confirmed cases and 860 reported deaths from the virus in the two provinces.
