JAKARTA - The Government of Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, noted that the additional new cases of COVID-19 had jumped dramatically by 75 cases from the previous 30 cases that were exposed.

"As of yesterday, 75 cases had come in," said Public Relations of the Task Force for Handling COVID-19 at Praya Hospital, Dr. Yuda Permana in Praya, quoted from Antara, Saturday, February 12.

Of the 75 cumulative new additional cases of COVID-19, 35 other patients have returned home after mild symptoms and they are self-isolating at home.

"Patients who have recovered with mild symptoms every day are sent home," he said.

He said the daily increase in cases increased by five patients, but every day there were also those who were sent home, bringing the total number of patients who are still undergoing isolation at the hospital as many as 32 patients.

"23 positive for COVID-19 and 9 are still waiting for the results of the PCR swab test," he said.

Therefore, he appealed to the public to continue to comply with health protocols by still wearing masks and washing hands and maintaining distance. In addition, the most important thing is to participate in vaccines to increase immunity and prevent exposure to COVID-19.

"What is important is a vaccine, so that it can prevent the spread of the virus, because our immune system has been formed, so we can fight COVID-19," he said.
