Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, recorded a new record high in COVID-19 cases on Sunday (August 30th), with 1,114 new infections. Three days prior, the number of new cases was around 800, significantly higher than in previous months.
According to Dwi Oktavia, Head of Disease Prevention and Control at the Jakarta Provincial Health Office, 70% of these new cases originated from specimens collected on August 24th and 25th. These individuals likely contracted the coronavirus on August 16th and 17th.
This surge in COVID-19 cases also caused a spike in active cases, nearing eight thousand, compared to approximately seven thousand a week earlier.
