According to Worldometers there are more than 10 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 from various countries in the world. So, will the number of cases in the future continue to increase?
Covid-19 elimination
According to Epidemiologist from Griffith University Australia, Dicky Budiman, global, regional and national trends are relatively the same. In addition, several recent studies show the magnitude of the challenge of finding drugs and vaccines for Covid-19 “So there is no other choice for the world including Indonesia to conduct a Covid-19 elimination program,” he said when contacted Kompas.com, Sunday (28/6 / 2020).
Meanwhile, seeing the number of Covid-19 daily cases reported in Indonesia today, Dicky said the possibility of an increase in cases could still occur in the future. “Will continue to happen (the trend of increasing cases), because the current positive case or death due to Covid-19 is the fruit of transmission that occurred 2 weeks ago (the longest incubation to 28 days),” explained Dicky.
Not yet peak
Although the number of new cases reported every day in Indonesia has entered an average of 1,000, Dicky said that the condition has not yet shown a peak. “It’s not yet the peak and the potential for rising is huge,” he said.
