Jakarta. The total number of active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia has been in a steep decline since its peak in mid-July and is arriving at the levels before the outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant.

The country recorded 168,317 active cases on Friday, in comparison to the more than 580,000 active cases registered during one and a half months ago, government figures show.

The current numbers are roughly the same as the levels during the first peak between late January and early February.
