East Java Experiences the Highest Increase in Corona Positives

KOMPAS.TV - How is East Java dealing with the highest increase in positive cases of corona or Covid-19?

East Java Province is now the second region in Indonesia with positive cases of the corona virus or Covid-19.

Epidemiologists say that this spike cannot be separated from the large number of people's movements and activities even though there are Large-Scale Social Restrictions or PSBB in place.

The distribution of corona or Covid-19 cases in East Java is still showing an increasing trend.

Even though in a number of areas, such as Greater Surabaya, the government has implemented PSBB, in the national corona distribution map, East Java is now in second place with the most cases, shifting the position of West Java.

East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa explained that the increase in corona cases in East Java was the result of rapid testing and tracking.

Apart from the disclosure of several corona clusters, the still high number of cases has prompted the East Java Provincial Government to extend the implementation of the PSBB in Greater Surabaya until 25 May 2020.
