China News Agency, Jakarta, June 9th (Reporter Lin Yongchuan) Indonesian officials announced on the afternoon of the 9th that there were 7,725 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the country that day, and a total of 1,877,050 confirmed cases; 170 new deaths and a total of 52,162 deaths.
This is the highest number of newly confirmed cases in a single day in Indonesia since February 26. In mid-May, the consequences of the large movement of people returning home and returning to the city during the Hari Raya holiday began to appear.
After a peak of over 10,000 newly diagnosed cases in a single day in February, from March to May, the epidemic situation in Indonesia slowed down relatively, and the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day remained around 5,000. During the Eid al-Fitr holiday in mid-May, although the government banned people from returning to their hometowns and traveling abroad, millions of people still returned to their hometowns after the festival.
Many Indonesian government officials have repeatedly reminded to prevent the rebound of the epidemic after Hari Raya, and Health Minister Sadikin also asked the medical system to prepare for it. Entering June, the rebound of the epidemic began to show. After the number of newly diagnosed cases in a single day exceeded 6,000, it exceeded 7,000 again.
After Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Christmas and New Year’s Day holiday this year, the epidemic in Indonesia rebounded significantly, and the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day showed an explosive increase.
On the 9th, Indonesian President Joko Widodo visited the vaccination site at the University of Indonesia Hospital in Debo, West Java, and asked all parts of the country to speed up vaccination. Joko said he hopes to inoculate 700,000 doses per day in June and achieve the goal of 1 million doses per day in July.
Indonesia launched its national vaccination plan on January 13 this year, and its goal is to vaccinate nearly 182 million people with the new crown vaccine for free by March next year.
On the 9th, the capital of Jakarta Province took the lead in the country to open free vaccination for citizens between 18 and 59 years old. Prior to this, in accordance with the national vaccination plan, medical personnel, front-line military and police law enforcement personnel, community service personnel, and vulnerable groups such as the elderly over 60 and the disabled have given priority to vaccination in stages.
