"There are 237 districts / cities in the medium risk zone (orange). This is also increasing, previously 222," continued Wiku.

"The green zone has also decreased, from 82 to 74 regencies / cities," he continued.
Wiku said the decline in the red zone is good news.
That means, a number of high-risk areas have succeeded in suppressing the spread of the virus. However, Wiku also highlighted the growing orange zone.
According to him, this moderate risk zone should also be the concern of each regional government.
"From time to time, the risk zone is being increased from July to August 16," said Wiku.
The total number of Covid-19 patients who recovered and were no longer infected with the corona virus reached 96,306 people. While the death rate for Covid-19 patients reached 6,277 people. (*)
