After a steady decline in newly cases for more than three weeks, Indonesia began to see an uptick with seven-day average climbing consistently since last Thursday.

Despite the dramatic drop in the two worst-affected provinces, Indonesia still added 3,770 more cases to take its total to 448,118.

Of that figure, 54,300 or 12.1 percent are active cases.

The weekly trend is moving upward and approaching the previous peak in late September. The National Covid-19 Task Force said earlier the decline in previous weeks could have been attributable to a weakening in testing capacity.
