Confirmed Covid-19 cases increased by 215 on February 23, 2023. With this addition, the total number of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia has reached 6,735,033.
A total of 6,570,570 patients have recovered, and 160,897 have died.
The government urges the public to more actively implement health protocols due to the increasing spread of the Omicron variant in Indonesia. This variant is feared to further widen the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia, making it difficult to contain. This is despite the fact that the positive rate had decreased in most regions at the beginning of this year.
Previously, during the first wave of Covid-19 last year, the highest daily increase in cases was recorded on July 15, 2021, at 56,757 cases. With the emergence of the Omicron variant, this record has been broken twice in February, with 57,049 cases added on February 15 and 64,718 cases on February 16.
