Based on the data, the decline in COVID-19 cases can be seen and compared since July. Where the positive number of COVID-19 reached 56,000 and the BOR (bed occupancy rate) in the hospital became 90 percent.

"So now thanks to the hard work of all stakeholders of the TNI, National Police, health workers, and local governments, and the community, we can congratulate and be grateful that the national BOR has fallen by 11 percent and the daily case rate is around 1,900", said Sigit.

However, Sigit emphasized that the decrease in the number of cases did not make all parties lulled. Prokes monitoring and vaccination must continue to be carried out.

"This must maintain the strategy of how we carry out 3T (testing, tracing, and treatment), the main process is wearing masks, and most importantly we realize immunity by accelerating vaccination. What we hope is that with these three strategies the rate of COVID-19 can be controlled and economic growth grows", said Sigit.
