COVID-19 deaths reached 142,889 on Monday, October 18, 2021. This figure is an increase of 41 deaths from the previous day.
Indonesia's total death toll ranked second highest in Asia on Tuesday, October 19, 2021. These deaths contributed 12.4% of the total Asian death toll of 1,150,412.
India, which was once the epicenter of the Delta variant spread, still holds the first rank, with a death toll of 452,485, an increase of 164 deaths from the previous day. After Indonesia, the next highest total COVID-19 deaths are in Iran with 124,256 deaths and Turkey with 67,837 deaths, followed by the Philippines with 40,761 deaths.
A third wave is predicted to reappear at the end of this year, after the 2021 Christmas and 2022 New Year holidays. Therefore, the government and the public must not be complacent in suppressing the rate of virus transmission by implementing the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with running water.
Furthermore, the public is urged to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of illness and death from COVID-19.
