Based on data from the Jakarta Provincial Health Office (Dinkes DKI Jakarta), there were 638,291 cases of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in the capital city from January to June 2023.

Head of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Immunization at the Jakarta Provincial Health Office, Ngabila Salama, stated that this figure was compiled based on the average number of ARI cases found in hospitals and community health centers in Jakarta.

"Jakarta residents experience coughs, colds, and ARI/pneumonia an average of 100,000 cases per month out of a population of 11 million," said Ngabila in her statement, as reported by *Kompas.com* on Friday (11/8/2023).

Based on the trend, the highest number of ARI cases in the first half of 2023 occurred in March, with a recorded 119,734 cases.

ARI cases in the capital city decreased in April and May but rose again in June 2023, reaching 102,475 cases.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Health Office stated that a number of people suffering from ARI were suspected to be affected by the poor air quality in Jakarta.

According to IQAir, Jakarta was the fourth city with the worst air quality in the world on Tuesday (15/8/2023).

The air quality index in Jakarta reached 157, which falls into the unhealthy category.

The main air pollutant in Jakarta today is PM2.5, with a concentration of 67.1 µg/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter).

This figure is considered 13.4 times higher than the annual air quality guideline of the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO's ideal air quality standard has a PM2.5 concentration weight between 0-5 micrograms per cubic meter.
