Jakarta COVID-19 Positivity Rate Hit 9.2 percent This Week

18 August 2020 22:00 WIB

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta reported this week’s COVID-19 positivity rate has reached 9.2 percent, dropping by 0.4 percent from the weekly rate per yesterday.

“The positivity rate in Jakarta for the past week is 9.2 percent,” said the city’s Health Agency Head of Disease Prevention and Control, Dwi Oktavia, in a written statement on Tuesday, August 18.

The positivity rate is the percentage of positive results of the swab tests per the total number of people tested. The rate was still higher than the WHO (World Health Organization) standard of 5 percent.

Dwi added that her side had conducted PCR tests on 40,369 people in the past week.

The city’s positivity rate has been below 5 percent. Governor Anies Baswedan previously reported that throughout the first week of the transitional PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restriction) starting June 5, 2020, the rate was 4.4 percent.

In the second week, the figure slipped to 3.1 percent, and slowly increased to 3.7 percent in the third week, 3.9 percent in the fourth week, 4.8 percent in the fifth week, and up to 5.9 percent in the next week.

The highest weekly positivity rate was noted at 9.6 percent per August 17, followed by 9.3 percent per August 7.

Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria said that the city would enforce the emergency brake policy should the COVID-19 positivity rate reach above 10 percent.
