We can see that the cumulative number of cases have continued to decline in proportion
Jakarta – The portion of active novel coronavirus cases throughout Indonesia has continued to decline to reach 19.17 percent as of October 14, 2020, according to the Task Force for Handling COVID-19
” We can see that the cumulative number of cases have actually continued to decline in percentage,” stated head of data and information technology, COVID-19 Handling Task Force, Dr. Dewi Nur Aisyah, at a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.
She said the active cases were not determined from the cumulative number of current COVID-19 cases, rather, they were gotten from the percentage of individuals who were ill, divided by the variety of contaminated individuals.
Based upon this ratio, the variety of active COVID-19 cases in Indonesia have actually continued to decrease from March to October this year, she noted.
” That way, because the beginning, when a COVID-19 case was found in Indonesia in early March, 2020 until now October 14, we can see that the chart has reduced,” she discussed.
Restating that the percentage of active COVID-19 cases is very vibrant, she stated that the portion may continue to decline if there is a reduction in cases, but it might also increase if cases surge.
” We can see for example in July, at the end of July, it decreased, then at the beginning, it rose a bit again. Early September, we experienced an extremely high boost in cases. When at the end of August the number had actually reached a low point, but then it rose again in September,” she elaborated.
She said she hoped that the portion of active cases will continue to decrease, with more recoveries tape-recorded instead of fatalities, ensuring there are less active cases.
” It suggests that if it (the portion) decreases, all active cases will have outcomes, whether they are recoveries or casualties. What we are hoping for is certainly a cure,” stated Dewi Nur Aisyah. (INE)
