Covid-19 Cases are Increasing Again in Indonesia. What are the Causes?

COVID-19 is still not completely gone from Indonesia. The increase in COVID-19 cases has again occurred in several parts of Indonesia this past week. This increase in cases caused the national positivity rate to increase significantly, from only 0.5 to 0.8 percent to 1.36 percent. The positive value nationally is still quite good. WHO states that the safe limit for COVID-19 must be below 5 percent.

 On Tuesday (14/6) number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia increased by almost a thousand, 930 to be precise. Then the total positive ever confirmed in Indonesia reached 6,062,009 people. While the patients who recovered became 548 people, the total number of recovered patients was 5,900,049.

Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said the number of COVID-19 cases in several regions had increased this week.
Budi said in a teleconference Monday (13/6), "Confirmation instances did occur in DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten, and Bali."
