SURAKARTA - The Surakarta City Government, Central Java, has ensured that the number of COVID-19 testing cases remains high even though the area currently has zero cases.
The head of the Surakarta City Health Service (DKK) Siti Wahyuningsih said, to this day the local government still maintains hundreds of tests in one day.
"Today, our number of testing has reached 605 people, this number includes tracing and screening of new cases," he said in Solo as reported by Antara, Monday, November 8.
He said the realization of the daily testing figure far exceeded the target of 74 people/day. "At the peak of yesterday's cases, in one day we were able to test up to 1,142 people," he said.
Regarding the addition of new cases in the city of Solo, he said, recently showed quite encouraging data. Even on certain days there is no daily addition of cases.
"Today zero cases, yesterday only one case, even two weeks ago for two days in a row zero cases," he said.
He said the addition of cases that occurred in recent times was a finding from the observation program of the Ministry of Health, one of which was in face-to-face learning activities (PTM).
"There will be a second phase of surveillance tomorrow. We don't know if the numbers will increase again after the program," he said.
As one of the anticipations, his party will continue to maintain a high number of testing among the general public.
On the other hand, his party asked the public to continue implementing health protocols because many people are starting to ignore the prokes, especially the use of masks.
"This is unfortunate, that's why I ask the public to continue to implement the prokes," he said.
