Abdul Qodir entered more previously to struck 20.30 WIB, Zaki an hour later. The father and this child beralamat in Patria Jaya Housing, the Jasmine Hut, Bekasi."
 
The above translation descibe two sets of familial clusters admitted to Sulianti Saroso on the same day. The first two patients represent a larger cluster, because two additional family members have fevers, although not yet admitted. This family lives in the Cipayung region.
 
A second cluster was admitted later and they are from Bekasi where are large number of cases originate (see Jakarta Map). The admission of patients representing two distinct clusters is cause for concern. Many of the cases in Indonesia form familial clusters.
