Wiku detailed that the increase in the third week after Eid 2021 was only around 50 percent, while last year the increase was around 80 percent.
"In just one week, the percentage increase in cases this year can exceed the percentage increase in cases last year", said Wiku.
Furthermore, Wiku explained that there were a number of regencies/cities that experienced a very significant spike in cases in a short span of time.
The increase in cases in several regencies/cities has occurred since last week, such as in Bangkalan Regency, Pati Regency, Kudus Regency, Jepara Regency, Bandung Regency, and Cimahi City.
"If there are regencies/cities that have shown significant increases, they must be handled so that they remain under control so as not to increase cases at the provincial to the national level", he explained.
