The rate of COVID-19 testing in Indonesia drastically decreased during the 2021 Eid al-Fitr holiday. Based on data from the COVID-19 Task Force, only 203,510 people were tested for the coronavirus from May 10-16, 2021.

This number is only 75.37% of the testing target set by the World Health Organization (WHO) of 267,700 people per week. Indonesia had consistently met this WHO standard for the nine preceding weeks.

COVID-19 Task Force spokesperson Wiku Adisasmito stated that the decrease in the number of tests was due to many laboratories being inoperative during the Eid al-Fitr holiday. He assured that the number of tests would continue to be increased in the future.

The government also urged the public to diligently implement the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. This is crucial to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
