Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Acting Deputy II of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Dody Ruswandi asked the public not to be surprised by the possibility of a positive case coronavirus (Covid-19) experienced a huge increase next week.
According to him, the increase was made so that the end of the coronavirus pandemic could be done more quickly. Dody said the increase in the number of Covid-19 positive people was aimed at up to 40,000 patients.
“Later, ladies and gentlemen, you will not be surprised that next week will tend to increase a lot. Technically, it should be, because we can accelerate the completion of Covid-19,” Dody said at an audience meeting (PDR) with the Commission VIII of the Indonesian Parliament. It took place online on Tuesday (5/12).
“I hope we can reach 40,000, so that it can represent the red areas that we think those regions represent,” he added.
He explained that the increase in the number of cases was in line with the addition of the Covid-19 test. According to Dody, the Covid-19 Management Acceleration Task Force is increasing capacity both in terms of laboratories and human resources. The goal, he continued, is to increase controllability starting this weekend.
Dody also said that if this massive test is successful, the Covid-19 peak curve is likely to occur in early June 2020. According to him, after that, the Covid-19 curve may have a downward slope.
“If the peak is there (early June), we must also be prepared with the capacity of the hospital. God willing, later if everything tests “This is over and the peak can be reached, and hopefully it can go down,” Dody said.
Previously, chairman of the Covid-19 Working Group to Accelerate Manipulation, Doni Monardo stated that the increase in the number of positive cases of coronavirus in Indonesia was in line with the number of tests being carried out more and more. .
“We see an upward trend in cases of positive confirmation. Why? Because our testing capacity is increasing. So we always do it tests with a large number, it is very possible that there will also be many positive confirmations, “Doni said at a press conference via the live broadcast of the Cabinet Secretary’s Instagram account on Monday (5/11).
According to the direction of President Joko Widodo, Doni continued, it is aimed at testing the crown specimen to reach 10,000 per day. He did not rule out that currently the number of tests has not yet reached the goal.
The number of crown-positive or Covid-19 cases in Indonesia on Tuesday (12/5) reached 14,749 cases, while the number of deceased patients was 1,007 people, and patients were cured up to 3,063 people.
