JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): With new Covid-19 infections on the decline, the national bed occupancy rate decreasing to below 30 per cent and the national positivity rate to below 5 per cent for the first time in months on Tuesday (Sept 7), we can say with confidence that the Delta-triggered second wave that crippled the nation in July is easing.
The government may have committed a few serious blunders before Delta, but the strict emergency public activities restriction (PPKM Darurat) implemented during the height of the second wave and the following multitiered PPKM measures have certainly helped the country weather the onslaught of the ruthless Covid-19 variant.
