The cases appear to be the first since Indonesian Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari said two weeks ago that Jakarta had changed its policy on reporting human cases, and would only announce the death toll every six months.
The WHO, in a statement reporting information from the Indonesian health ministry, said that a 16-year-old girl from South Jakarta died on May 14 and a 34-year-old woman from Banten province died on June 3.
