As of Wednesday, June 9, 2021, Indonesia still had 101,635 active COVID-19 cases. 48% of these cases were located in three provinces on the island of Java: 21,772 active cases in West Java, 14,926 in Central Java, and 12,085 in Jakarta.
The number of patients undergoing treatment for coronavirus infection in Papua was also relatively high, at 8,816 cases. Riau recorded 4,640 active cases, while the Riau Islands had 4,231 active cases. Approximately 3,000 active cases were reported in each of West Sumatra, Aceh, and Central Kalimantan.
Yogyakarta had 2,747 cases undergoing treatment in hospitals or self-isolating due to coronavirus infection. Several other provinces had similar numbers, including West Nusa Tenggara, North Sumatra, and East Java.
Provinces with the lowest number of active cases were Gorontalo (80 cases), West Papua (101 cases), West Sulawesi (104 cases), and North Maluku (130 cases). The number of cases in other provinces ranged from 200 to 1,000.
Active COVID-19 cases are increasing in several areas, such as Kudus and Bangkalan. The number of cases in Jakarta is also rising, leading to the initiation of vaccinations for all residents over 18 years old to control the spread of the virus.
In addition to vaccination, COVID-19 prevention must be carried out through the implementation of the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. The public is also urged to avoid crowds and reduce mobility.
