COVID-19 Cases Increase by 3,228 (Sunday, August 28)

On August 28, 2022, there was an increase of 3,228 confirmed Covid-19 cases. This brings the total number of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia to 6,346,304.

A total of 6,142,438 patients have recovered, and 157,500 have died.

The government urges the public to actively implement health protocols due to the increasing spread of the Omicron variant in Indonesia. This variant is feared to cause a wider and more difficult-to-control spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia, despite the positive rate having decreased in most regions earlier this year.

Previously, during the first wave of Covid-19 last year, the highest daily increase in cases was recorded on July 15, 2021, at 56,757 cases. With the emergence of the Omicron variant, this record was broken twice in February, with 57,049 cases on February 15th and 64,718 cases on February 16th.
