COVID-19 Update As Of June 10: Two Consecutive Days Of More Than 1,000 New Cases

JAKARTA - The government's spokesman for handling COVID-19, Achmad Yurianto, explained the development of temporary positive cases. Based on the data, the addition of positive cases in the past two days has reached over 1,000.

Referring to the data from the COVID-19 Task Force as of Wednesday 10 June, the number of positive cases of 1,241 people was confirmed as new positive cases. This number is from all cases in Indonesia.

"Additional cases of positive confirmation were 1,241 people, bringing the total to 34,316," said Yuri at Graha BNPB, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 10.

The addition of this large number of positive cases came from 5 provinces. East Java, South Sulawesi, DKI Jakarta, Central Java, and South Kalimantan. These five provinces are the regions with the highest number of positive cases.

"We got additional 5 provinces, the first is East Java which today reported 273 positive confirmed cases and 97 recovered, South Sulawesi 189 positive cases and reported 53 recovered, DKI Jakarta 157 people and reported 146 recovered, Central Java increased 139 people, and reported 118 people recovered, South Kalimantan 127 people and 10 people recovered, "said Yuri.

On the other hand, negative or cured cases also increase. Referring to existing data, about 715 patients were declared cured. With this addition, the number of patients recovered reached 12,129 people.

Meanwhile, 36 patients died from the virus. The total number of patients who died from COVID-19 became 1,959 people.

Then, for specimen examination results, up to 12.00 WIB 17,757 specimens had been examined using the PCR method or using a monocular rapid test. So that the total examined was 446,918 specimens.

"424 districts or cities have had an impact in 34 provinces and we are still monitoring the ODP of 43,945 people and a GDP of 14,242 people," said Yuri.

The addition of a large number of positive cases, said Yuri, was due to more aggressive tracing or search for contact history of positive cases. This is evidenced by the addition of cases that occurred were specimens from Puskesmas and the Health Office.

"So we can see that most of the additional cases are specimens sent by the health center or the health office, not dominated by specimens sent by the hospital," said Yuri.

Although the overall calculation has increased, if we refer to the distribution per province, the number of positive cases is still in a stable condition.

"Overall we are still increasing the number, but then we look at the distribution per province, actually most of the provinces are already in a stable condition," said Yuri.
