JAKARTA: As Indonesia's health service struggles to cope with soaring coronavirus infections, volunteer ambulance drivers like Sunaryo have been working flat out to bring infected patients to and from hospitals.
Hit by the highly contagious Delta variant, the Southeast Asian country reported a record 54,517 cases on Wednesday, up nearly tenfold on the start of June. "I definitely feel scared (about being infected)... But this is for humanity and I'm doing this from my heart," said Sunaryo.
