The Trend of COVID-19 Rises in 20 Regions, Evidence of the Corona Virus is Still Around Us

Johnny G. Plate emphasized that increased mobility should be accompanied by strict adherence to health protocols from each individual to reduce the risk of transmission. All regional leaders are also expected to move more actively, monitoring every parameter of handling the pandemic on a regular basis.

The goal is to be able to take quick steps to anticipate a spike in COVID-19 cases. The parameters in question, such as the number of active cases, positivity rate, and Bed Occupancy Ratio (BOR).

“The increase in COVID-19 cases in the regions must be a common concern because this has entered the phase ahead of the Nataru holiday (Christmas and New Year),” said the Minister of Communication and Information Plate.

“Learning from last year’s experience, people’s mobility during long holidays tends to increase and this has an impact on a spike in cases.”

Regional policy makers and all elements must also strengthen vaccination coverage, intensify 3T (testing, tracing, treatment), and the use of PeduliLindung in various public places where the community gathers. For example, malls, cafes, markets, and tourist attractions.

“Health protocols, vaccinations, 3T, and the implementation of information technology remain important intervention steps in anticipation of reducing the risk of Corona transmission. The government will also continue to evaluate the implementation of PPKM as an instrument for controlling COVID-19 in each region,” Plate concluded.

“We expect the active role of the community to support the policy.”
