The trend of active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia is showing a decline. The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 37,259 confirmed Covid-19 cases nationwide on March 3, 2022, down from 40,920 cases on March 2, 2022.
However, the trend of Covid-19 deaths is the opposite. Indonesia recorded the highest number of new Covid-19 deaths in Southeast Asia, with 232 deaths on March 3, 2022.
Vietnam followed with 95 deaths, Malaysia with 86, Thailand with 49, and the Philippines with 34.
According to the government, the most effective way to prevent further Covid-19 infections and deaths is to get fully vaccinated, followed by a booster shot.
Vaccination has been scientifically proven to reduce the worst risks of Covid-19 infection. Meanwhile, data currently being analyzed by Kemenkes shows that 69% of the 5,013 Covid-19 patients who died had not been fully vaccinated. This is exacerbated by comorbidities and advanced age.
