Sadikin explained that if Indonesia can go through the December 2022-February 2023 period with a declining count in COVID-19 cases, then it would become a country with no surge in COVID-19 cases for a period of 12 months.
The first case of COVID-19 in Indonesia was confirmed in March 2020. According to data from the COVID-19 Handling Task Force, as of October 13, 2022, the nation has recorded 6,452,078 COVID-19 cases, 6,276,589 recoveries, and 158,263 deaths./.
