The Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) issued 74,330 death certificates in 2020. This figure represents a 20.4% increase compared to 2019.
This increase is higher than the 16.3% increase seen in the previous year. Throughout 2019, the DKI Disdukcapil issued 61,734 death certificates, more than the 53,086 issued in 2018.
A detailed look reveals that the issuance of death certificates last year peaked in the fourth quarter of 2020. During that period, the DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil released 22,562 death certificates, a 4.95% increase compared to the same period the previous year.
The increase in the issuance of death certificates in the capital city coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the DKI Disdukcapil states that the increase in death certificate issuance in Jakarta cannot be strongly linked to the pandemic.
Even if there is a correlation, the coronavirus is not necessarily the main cause of the increase in death certificate issuance last year. Several other factors could contribute to the increased number of death certificates issued in Jakarta.
To prevent deaths from coronavirus, the spread of the virus must be stopped. One step that can be taken is to diligently implement the 3M health protocols: wearing a mask, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap.
