The COVID-19 positivity rate in DKI Jakarta reached 3.6% on September 1, 2021. This figure indicates that the COVID-19 positivity rate in the capital city is below the WHO standard of 5%.
The average COVID-19 positivity rate in Jakarta was recorded at 4.2% over the past week. This number is lower compared to the previous week's average of 6.1%.
Dwi Oktavia, Head of Disease Prevention and Control at the DKI Jakarta Health Office, claims that the COVID-19 positivity rate in DKI Jakarta is the lowest in Indonesia. However, the number of COVID-19 tests in the capital city has been decreasing.
In the period from August 27 to September 1, 2021, the average daily COVID-19 tests in Jakarta were 11,479. Meanwhile, in the previous week, the average daily COVID-19 tests in Jakarta were 11,233.
The low testing coverage could lead to many unrecorded coronavirus transmission cases. This situation could also cause uncontrolled coronavirus transmission.
Therefore, the government needs to increase the rate of coronavirus testing. The public is also urged to diligently implement the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap.
