Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Corona virus positive caseCovid-19) has increased significantly in several countries. The largest increase in cases occurred in Europe with a percentage of 7 percent, while deaths increased by 10 percent.
Meanwhile, Acting Director General of Disease Prevention and Control at the Ministry of Health, Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, said that Indonesia is currently relatively under control. However, the public must remain vigilant.
The following is the development of information about the corona virus in the country which is summarized CNNIndonesia.com
Central Kalimantan Alert Variant AY.4.2
Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Suharyanto asked the Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) provincial government to be aware of the new variant of Covid-19 AY.4.2.
The appeal cannot be separated from the AY.4.2 variant which has been detected in Malaysia since 2 October.
“The AY.4.2 variant has started to enter Malaysia. This is what we have to anticipate. In European countries, Covid-19 cases are starting to rise,” said Suharyanto in a written statement, Saturday (20/11).
Covid Positive Teachers in Bogor
Mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya said there were as many as 24 teachers and students of SD Negeri Sukapeace 2 who were positive for Covid-19 during face-to-face learning (PTM). He claimed they were asymptomatic (OTG).
All teachers and students are undergoing independent isolation and are under the monitoring of the Bogor City Government and the Bogor City Covid-19 Task Force. Meanwhile, tracing or tracing of close contacts was carried out on 24 teachers and students.
So because this is different, hopefully it’s not an indication of a third wave, hopefully it’s an indication of herd immunity. So the virus is getting weaker, positive but there are no symptoms,” said Bima.
Millions of New Vaccine Doses
Indonesia has again received millions of doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in three stages. In the 125th stage, there were 2,259,270 doses of the Pfizer brand of vaccine. While stages 126 and 127 are not yet known for sure the number of doses and brands of vaccines.
Earlier on Friday (19/11), Indonesia also received 4,059,290 doses of vaccine for Oxford-AstraZeneca and 800,000 doses of vaccine for Moderna. Johnny G. Plate, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, said that the vaccines are obtained from direct purchases.
New Case of Corona Virus
Today there were 314 additional positive cases of Covid-19 recorded. Since the announcement of the first case in March 2020, there have been a total of 4,253,412 positive cases.
Then the number of recovered patients increased by 331 from the previous day, bringing the total to 4,101,547 recovered. Meanwhile, the number of deaths increased by 11 people.
Nusantara Vaccine Booster
The Nusantara vaccine is currently being reviewed by the Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ITAGI) in consideration of becoming the third vaccine, aka a booster for the Covid-19 vaccine.
Spokesperson for Covid-19 Vaccination, Siti Nadia Tarmizi said ITAGI and the Ministry of Health have not yet decided which brand of Covid-19 vaccine will be used as a booster. The trials are still ongoing.
“For boosters, there are no technical instructions. Including for the Nusantara vaccine, so we are waiting for the ITAGI study. We are also waiting for recommendations from WHO,” said Nadia to CNNIndonesia.com, Saturday (20/11).
