Spokesperson for the Handling Task Force COVID-19 Wiku Adisasmito said that over the past two weeks the positivity rate and the number of daily cases Corona in Indonesia decrease. However, the record of Corona cases in the country is still considered high.
It was recorded that in the period 12-18 July 2021, the positivity rate in Indonesia reached 30.72 percent with a case number of 350,273 people. Then in the period 19-25 July, the positivity rate was recorded at 27.38 percent with 289,029 cases.
Furthermore, in the period 26-1 August 2021, the positivity rate in Indonesia decreased again, which was 25.18 percent with a case number of 273,891 people.
“Hopefully the achievement of decreasing cases over the last two weeks can be a motivation so that in the future we will be more disciplined in implementing health protocols,” Wiku said at a press conference, Tuesday (3/8/2021).
However, Wiku explained that there are still several provinces in Indonesia that have experienced an increase in Corona cases in the last three weeks. The province is dominated by the island of Sulawesi.
“These provinces are dominated by the islands of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Almost all provinces on the island of Sumatra are still showing an increase in the last three weeks,” he explained.
Wiku also asked the public not to be careless about the risk of transmission corona virus and remain disciplined in complying with health protocols. Then, he asked the local government whose areas experienced an increase in cases to immediately prepare health facilities.
“With cases still increasing in the last three weeks, it is necessary to anticipate and prepare all health facilities in their respective regions,” he said.
