The cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in Aceh has reached 18.434 people. In detail, 13.868 people have recovered, 744 people have died and 3.822 people are still under treatment or self-isolation.

He added that the transmission of COVID-19 still continued to occur in the community even though the daily number of cases reported was lower than the previous day.

Therefore, he appealed to the people of the Serambi Mekkah to continue to be disciplined in implementing health protocols such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, washing hands, avoiding crowds, and reducing mobility.

"Estimates of COVID-19 transmission are still very high in the community, this is not a fabrication", said Saifullah.

He also recommended that the district/city COVID-19 Task Force conduct aggressive testing and tracing to find people who have been infected.

"The sooner the sources of transmission are found, the sooner they are isolated so that the coronavirus does not spread further in the community", he said.
