The government has examined 2,023,990 people in its handling of COVID-19. Of these, 1,732,808 tested negative, while 291,182 were diagnosed positive for the disease.
Based on data from Thursday (October 1st), 30,296 people were examined in a single day. This figure is down from Thursday (September 24th) of the previous week, when 34,786 tests were conducted daily – the highest number in the last seven months.
Nevertheless, the average number of weekly tests conducted by the government remains below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. The WHO estimates that Indonesia should be able to test 267,700 people per week. However, Indonesia has only managed to test approximately 189,641 people in the last week.
To curb the spread of COVID-19, the government continues to promote the 3M movement. The health protocol of wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining physical distance must be implemented by all. Reducing the transmission rate is a collective effort.
