Indonesia is recording 3,822 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, almost seven times higher than the 551 cases registered one month ago.
The death rate is not significantly increasing, figures suggested.
“The increase means that the transmissions grow worse again,” spokesman for the country’s COVID-19 Task Force Wiku Adisasmito told a virtual press briefing on Wednesday.
He said the positivity rate was also growing to 5.12 percent, beyond the World Health Organization’s safety standard of 5 percent.
The spokesman urged all Indonesians to observe health protocols to avoid further spread of the virus
