Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Experts assess spike in cases Dead during the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) Emergency and Level 4 because the provisions cannot suppress the mobility of 70 percent of citizens during the Corona Virus infection period.
It is known, the total number of deaths during the five days of PPKM Level 4 reached. 8,359 cases. This number is twice as high as the previous five days during the Emergency PPKM, 15-19 July, with 4,618 cases.
In addition, over the past 11 days, July 16-26, the death toll continued to exceed 1,000 cases, with a total death toll of 14,574.
This number is 1.5 times higher than the previous 11 days or during the July 5-15 period, where the total number of people who died related to Corona reached 9,610 people.
Today even the death toll broke a record where in a day there were 2,069 cases of death due to COVID-19 in a day.
PPKM Emergency and PPKM Level 4, before being amended with a number of relaxations since their extension on July 26, tightened intercity mobility with a number of conditions.
For example, only workers in essential and critical sectors are allowed to have offices, prohibition of eating at restaurant locations, as well as isolation at a number of points within and on city borders.
An epidemiologist from Airlangga University (Unair) Surabaya, Windhu Purnomo, said that mobility restrictions are similar in principle to forming a herd immunity or herd immunity.
As a result, at least 70 percent of the population must be restricted in mobility and in two periods of viral infection. The problem is, it doesn’t happen during PPKM.
“If a minimum of 70 percent of residents in an epidemiological area unit want to stay at home at the same time, within a certain duration of twice the infectious period, the virus will stop,” Windu told reporters. CNNIndonesia.com, Tuesday (27/7).
“That’s the principle. If you don’t do that, in an acute condition like this, it’s like this (death soaring) later,” he added.
