JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Indonesia’s Covid-19 Task Force has announced that the number of daily Covid-19 cases continue to crawl upwards, more than a month after the Eid al-Fitr or Idul Fitri Islamic holidays on May 13 and 14.

“The number of new Covid-19 cases has reached 9,944 over a 24-hour period as of June 16. This took the number of coronavirus cases to 1,937,652,” the Task Force said in its website.

They noted that the 9,944 cases is the highest number to be detected in a single day, since it reached 10,180 on February 22. “Since then, daily Covid-19 case numbers have declined until the end of May.”

However, the number of cases last February is still lower than during the peak of the Covid-19 crisis last January. The peak of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia came on January 30, which saw 14,518 new cases over a 24-hour period.
