Mimika now has 51 cases, the most of any single regency in Papua region.
Indonesia's Health Ministry said the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in West Papua province was 37, and 189 in neighbouring Papua province, with seven deaths overall.
Cities near the border with PNG, Jayapura and Merauke, were among the hotspots.
But of particular concern to provincial health officials was the surge in cases over recent weeks in Mimika where the major Freeport gold and copper mine was located.
