On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan, Hubei, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.{{cite web |url=https://www.elsevier.com/connect/coronavirus-information-center |title=Novel Coronavirus Information Center|website=Elsevier Connect|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200130171622/https://www.elsevier.com/connect/coronavirus-information-center|archive-date=30 January 2020|access-date=15 March 2020}}{{Cite news |last=Reynolds |first=Matt |url=https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-coronavirus |title=What is coronavirus and how close is it to becoming a pandemic? |date=4 March 2020 |magazine=Wired UK|access-date=5 March 2020 |issn=1357-0978|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305104806/https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-coronavirus|archive-date=5 March 2020|url-status=live}}

From January until February 2020, Indonesia reported zero cases of COVID-19, despite being surrounded by infected countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia. Flights from countries with high infection rate, including South Korea and Thailand, also continued to operate. Health experts and researchers at Harvard University in the United States expressed their concerns, saying that Indonesia is ill-prepared for an outbreak and there could be undetected COVID-19 cases.{{cite web

Since 14 July 2020, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia classifies people involved with COVID-19 into four levels:{{Cite news|url=http://sehatnegeriku.kemkes.go.id/baca/rilis-media/20200714/2834469/kemenkes-kenalkan-istilah-probable-suspect-kontak-erat-dan-terkonfirmasi-covid-19/|title=Kemenkes Kenalkan Istilah Probable, Suspect, Kontak Erat dan Terkonfirmasi COVID-19|date=14 July 2020|newspaper=Sehat Negeriku|access-date=15 July 2020}}

• A suspect is a person showing symptoms of respiratory infections, and has stayed within 14 days in any country or any region in Indonesia with local transmission and/or has established contact within 14 days with a confirmed or probable case and/or requires treatment at the hospital and has no possible diagnosis of other diseases.
• A probable case is a person, alive or deceased, who shows or showed obvious signs of COVID-19 symptoms and awaiting results of his or her swab test.
• A confirmed case is a person whose sample produced positive results based on swab or molecular rapid test. A confirmed case may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Due to lower accuracy and higher chance of false positives, a positive rapid or antibody test is not counted into the official number of cases.
• A close contact is a person who established contact with a probable or confirmed case between 2 days before and 14 days after symptoms show up, or the date of testing for asymptomatic cases. The close contact must quarantine for 14 days. Reclassification into suspect may be done should if the person show symptoms.

Other classifications include:

• A recovered case is recorded after a confirmed case is discharged from isolation. For an asymptomatic case, it is 10 days after a sample testing; for a symptomatic case, it is after a swab test or 10 days after onset of symptoms, and at least 3 days after no fever or respiratory difficulties.
• Death is recorded after someone who had been confirmed COVID-19 positive died. People who were classified into probable case's deaths are not counted in the official tally.

According to the Ministry of Domestic Affairs, a regency or municipality may be classified into three levels depending on the severity of COVID-19 cases within the region, according to these parameters:{{cite news|title=Arti Zona Hijau, Kuning, dan Merah Daerah Corona versi Mendagri |date=30 May 2020 |url=https://kumparan.com/kumparannews/arti-zona-hijau-kuning-dan-merah-daerah-corona-versi-mendagri-1tW5rG3kNAY/full |work=KumparanNews |access-date=6 July 2020}}

• The number of positive cases within 14 days
• The number of suspected cases within 14 days
• The number of deaths buried according to COVID-19 protocol within 14 days
• Threat of disease contagions to healthcare workers

Each has a score of 15 points for increasing trends, 20 for stationary trends, and 25 for decreasing trends.

The three levels were assigned to a specific region:

• Red Zone if the total score reaches below 80 points. Large-scale social restrictions may be enforced.
• Yellow Zone if the total score reaches 80 to 95 points.
• Green Zone if the total score reaches 100 points (all 4 parameters show a decreasing trend).

{{Main|Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia#Cases by province and region}}

Jakarta became the first province that confirmed COVID-19 cases, while Gorontalo was the last to do so. On 6 July 2020, Jambi became the last province to report a death, 53 days after the penultimate province East Nusa Tenggara did. West Java and Banten had ever reported 16,251 cases and 22,667 recoveries in a day respectively; both are the highest by a single province. Central Java hold the record for death numbers with 679. All six provinces in Java have the highest number of cases compared to other provinces, making it the worst-affected region in the country.

Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sent a letter to President Jokowi on 10 March 2020, urging countries with large populations, like Indonesia, to focus on increasing capacity of laboratoriums to detect cases of infection. Early detection is a key factor in limiting the spread of the virus as authorities are able to identify clusters faster. WHO gave advices, such as improving the mechanism of emergency responses, including asking for Indonesia to declare a national emergency situation as soon as possible, educating people and actively communicating while applying the appropriate risk communication measures, involving the local communities more, intensifying COVID-19 tracings, performing lab decentralization so that quick response teams can quickly map spread and clusters, and sharing detailed data on measures of the government in supervision and examination, including identification of patient contacts and summary of tracing patient contacts.{{Cite web |last=Chairunnisa |first=Ninis |date=2020-03-14 |title=Istana Klaim Sebagian Rekomendasi WHO Sudah Dijalankan Jokowi |url=https://nasional.tempo.co/read/1319392/istana-klaim-sebagian-rekomendasi-who-sudah-dijalankan-jokowi |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=Tempo |language=en}}

The funds were realocated from funds for agency and ministry official travels, nonoperational expenses, and honorary employees amounting to IDR 62.3 trillion and village as well as regional transfers amounting to IDR 56-59 trillion.{{Cite web |last=JUD/DIM/LAS |date=2020-03-20 |title=Rp 121,3 Triliun untuk Tangani Covid-19 |url=https://www.kompas.id/baca/ekonomi/2020/03/21/rp-1213-triliun-untuk-tangani-covid-19 |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=kompas.id |language=id}}

IDR 38 trillion of the realocated funds will be used for education, social safety net, and healthcare. IDR 6.1 trillion will be used for insurance of healthcare workers. BNPB will get an additional budget of IDR 3.3 trillion to address the pandemic.

In July 2020, the government considered that the phrase "new normal" is a "wrong diction" to describe changes of behaviour post-pandemic. In substitution, they decided to use "adaptation to new habits" (adaptasi kebiasaan baru). COVID-19 Response Acceleration Task Force speaker Yurianto considered that the public would focus on the word "normal" which can be taken to mean "perform activities like usual without paying attention to health protocols".{{Cite web |last=Putri |first=Zunita |title=Pemerintah: Diksi New Normal Salah, Kami Ubah Jadi Adaptasi Kebiasaan Baru |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5088789/pemerintah-diksi-new-normal-salah-kami-ubah-jadi-adaptasi-kebiasaan-baru |access-date=2024-05-03 |website=detiknews |language=id-ID}}

Also, despite the travel restrictions which suspended all passengers to travel outside areas with at least one confirmed case, many Indonesians disregarded it and have attempted to evade the travel restrictions to return to hometown during Idul Fitri season. This caused scientists to raise concern that this evasion would lead to the diseases which can spread easily from Jakarta and nearby satellite cities, where it is the epicenter of the pandemic, to other regions of Indonesia with weak medical facilities which were arguably unable to handle large numbers of outbreak.{{cite news

Brian Tan, Barclays Investment Bank's regional economist, noted that private consumption, government consumption and fixed investment all fell in Q2 as social distancing measures under Indonesia's large-scale social restriction measures, or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB), have stifled economic activity. This led to a collapse in imports, which outpaced the decline in exports, he said in a report. Barclays thus slashed its 2020 GDP forecast further to a 1.3% contraction, down from 1% contraction, Mr Tan said, which is below the central bank's earlier GDP growth forecast range of 0.9 to 1.9%.{{Cite web |date=2020-08-05 |title=Indonesia's Q2 GDP contraction draws mixed views from economists |url=https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/asean/indonesias-q2-gdp-contraction-draws-mixed-views-economists |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=The Business Times |language=en}}
