The Indonesian government has examined 3,313,590 people in its handling of COVID-19 as of Sunday (November 15th). Of these, 2,846,477 tested negative, while 467,113 were diagnosed positive.
Up to last Sunday, 25,396 people were tested per day. This figure is down from Saturday (November 14th), when 38,710 tests were conducted—one of the highest daily totals in the past eight months.
Although the daily number has decreased, the average weekly number of tests conducted by the government is increasingly approaching the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. The WHO estimates that Indonesia should be able to test 267,700 people per week. Indonesia has currently tested approximately 232,872 people in the last week.
To curb the spread of COVID-19, the government continues to promote the 3M movement. The health protocols of wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining physical distance must be followed by all. Reducing the transmission rate is a collective effort.
