Active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia have decreased today. According to a report from the Covid-19 Task Force, the number of active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia is now 11,846 as of Saturday, June 3, 2023.
The total number of Covid-19 cases reported today has reached 6.81 million. Of these, 161,780 people have died and 6.63 million have recovered.
Although active Covid-19 cases in the country have decreased, the public must remain vigilant. Especially since the coronavirus has the potential to remain contagious in the post-Eid al-Fitr period like now.
The implementation of health protocols is still expected to be carried out to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus, namely by wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. In addition, the public is also urged to get booster vaccinations to strengthen the body's immunity and reduce the severity of infection from the coronavirus.
Last year, the increase in Covid-19 transmission in the country was caused by two new Omicron subvariants, namely BA.4 and BA.5. The lowest number of active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia was previously recorded at 2,871 cases on May 30, 2022. After that, active Covid-19 cases began to rise and reached their peak on November 24, 2022, along with an increase in the number of confirmed positive cases in the country.
Throughout April 2023, the Ministry of Health also recorded an increase again. Therefore, the public needs to be vigilant. The public is urged to continue to strive to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus by implementing health protocols such as wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, and limiting mobility.
