According to data from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, the Covid-19 positivity rate in Jakarta has reached 16.5% as of August 21, 2022.

This figure far exceeds the safe limit or standard positivity rate set by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is 5%.

Over the past three months, the Covid-19 positivity rate in Jakarta even surged to 20.5% on July 25, 2022.

Meanwhile, according to Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin, an increase in Covid-19 transmission could lead to new virus variants in the future.

"We see several countries like Japan and European countries with daily confirmed cases exceeding 100,000 per day, even Japan exceeding 200,000 per day. Such high daily confirmed cases will certainly cause mutations and the emergence of new variants," said Budi, as quoted by CNBC Indonesia, Tuesday (23/8/2022).
