MADIUN - Mayor of Madiun Maidi stated that the recent increase in active cases in his area was claimed to be the result of intensive "tracing" efforts or tests carried out by the local COVID-19 Task Force as an effort to control the transmission of the Coronavirus.

"Efforts to trace and test are carried out immediately when new cases are found. So that the virus does not spread further", said Mayor Maidi in Madiun, East Java, Saturday, February 12.

According to him, with a large number of findings from the tracking results, the aim is to find out more quickly, so that they can be treated more quickly and increase the chances of recovery.

"There are people who are actually sick but feel healthy, do not report and do not seek treatment, so that they transmit the virus everywhere. This must be prevented", he said.

His party acknowledged that active cases of COVID-19 in Madiun City had increased significantly in the last two weeks. However, the increase in COVID-19 cases did not only occur in Madiun City. However, it is almost evenly distributed in all districts/cities in East Java and even nationally.

"We have to move quickly, it must be resolved so as not to paralyze other sectors, including the economic recovery program", he said.

He claimed that his efforts were in line with the directions of the Central and East Java Provincial Governments which were discussed in the virtual Java Bali PPKM (Community Activity Restrictions) Evaluation coordination meeting with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia, yesterday.

According to data, in Madiun City, the number of COVID-19 cases until Saturday, February 12 had reached 7,731 people. Of that number, 6,899 people have recovered, 61 people are under treatment, 216 people are undergoing integrated isolation, and 512 people have died.
