Data from the Jakarta Health Agency detailed that from a total of 10,703 PCR specimens, 9,358 people had been tested today to diagnose new cases which resulted in 983 positive and 8,375 negative cases.

Antigen test was also carried out today on 12,187 people with 401 positive and 11,786 negative results. Please note that positive antigen results in Jakarta were not included in total positive cases because all of them were reconfirmed by PCR.

From total positive cases, 1,247,144 people recovered with a recovery rate of 98.1% and 15,317 people died with a mortality rate of 1.2%. While the mortality rate in Indonesia reached 2.6%.

On the other hand, the WHO test targets 1,000 people using PCR per one million population per week (not specimens), meaning that the WHO target for Jakarta is at least 10,645 people should be tested per week.

"This target has been exceeded by Jakarta for some time. In the past week, 67,426 people were tested using PCR. While the number of people tested for PCR in Jakarta has now reached 1,041,319 per million population," she added.

The positivity rate in Jakarta in the past week reached 11.3%, while the percentage of positive cases in total reached 11.5%. WHO also set standard positive cases percentage should be no more than 5%.

Meanwhile, the vaccination program is continued. The first dose had been given to 12,559,472 people (124.6%) with a proportion of 70.5% of them were residents with Jakarta ID cards and 29.5% residents with non-Jakarta ID cards. Of that amount, 721 people had been injected with the first dose today.

The second dose had been given to 10,734,180 people (106.5%) with a proportion of 73.9% of them were residents with Jakarta ID cards and 26.1% residents with non-Jakarta ID cards. Of that amount, 1,497 people had been injected with the second dose today.

The third dose (booster) had been given to 4,085,589 people as of today. Of that amount, 11,150 people had been injected with the third dose today (Note: Data on the third vaccination figure is lower due to difficulties in retrieving data from the KPCPEN dashboard).

Jakarta Satpol PP also gives sanctions for anyone who does not wear a mask and violates health protocols and intensifies guest book data collection, as well as other forms of PPKM violations, such as in restaurants, business places, and industrial places. The imposed sanctions are in form of social work, fines, temporary suspension of activity, and revocation of business license.

Hopefully, all residents could be more disciplined and participate in breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission.
