JAKARTA - Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, said the cases of the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants in Java-Bali have exceeded the peak situation and experienced a downward trend in recent weeks.

"Every week we see the trend, indeed there is still an increase in cases, but the increase from week to week has decreased", said Budi Gunadi Sadikin when delivering his presentation about the COVID-19 pandemic at the House Commission IX Hearing Meeting (RDP) as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 30.

The trend of positive rates and hospital occupancy in BA.4 and BA.5 patients also decreased compared to the data six weeks ago.

Reporting from the Indonesian Ministry of Health's daily COVID-19 report as of August 27, 2022, the trend of confirmed cases in the last two weeks has decreased from 5,376 to 4,495 cases.

In the same time frame, the trend of active cases this week decreased from 51,514 to 48,383 cases. Meanwhile, patients treated in the last two weeks decreased from 4,200 to 4,196 people with a percentage from 6.68 percent to 6.54 percent.

The number of specimens examined in the last two weeks decreased from 111,316 to 91,577 specimens.

"The cases of BA.4 and BA.5 in terms of hospitalization and those who enter the ICU and die are relatively lower than the Delta and Omicron variants", he said.

The Minister of Health said that the trend of cases in Java-Bali has almost completely declined. Meanwhile, outside Java-Bali relatively increased, but nominally lower.

"Kalimantan has gone up first, but now the trend has decreased. Sulawesi and Sumatra are still rising slightly", he said.
