"Nationally, the top 5 districts/cities with the highest active cases are Depok City with 27.389 active cases, Bekasi City 22.674 active cases, Bandung City 15.151 active cases, Bantul Regency with 14.760 active cases, and South Tangerang City with 11.180 active cases", said Wiku in a virtual press conference, Thursday, August 5.

However, said Wiku, there are still 25.49 percent or 131 city districts that have more than 1.000 active cases of COVID-19.

If you look at the 50 districts/cities with the highest active cases, West Java is the contributor to the most urban districts with the highest active cases, namely 11 districts/cities, followed by Banten and East Java with 6 districts/cities each, and DIY 5 districts/cities.
Meanwhile, 63.3 percent or 324 other districts/cities have active cases ranging from 51 to 1.000 cases. Wiku asked the area to maintain a decline in cases.
"This means that the decline in positive cases must continue to be maintained, but the existing active cases must also continue to be suppressed. And this of course requires great efforts so that the recovery rate is also higher", said Wiku.
