Indonesia has surpassed India's daily coronavirus case numbers, making it a new Asian epicenter of highly contagious Delta variant. The country has seen its daily case count cross 40,000 for two straight days - including a record high of 47,899 on Tuesday.

Officials are concerned as more transmissible variant of coronavirus, Java, has been found outside of the country's main island and it could soon exhaust hospital workers and oxygen supplies.
