Critical Point of Health Care

The mortality rate in Covid-19 cases illustrates the ability of the health care system to treat Covid-19 patients, which is affected by the availability of the number of beds, personnel, medical equipment and medicines.

The government through the Covid-19 task force on 20 December announced that the number of deaths from Covid-19 had reached a new record.

(That day) as many as 221 deaths from Covid-19 cases were reported, with the total number of Covid-19 deaths reaching 19,880. The increase in the Covid-19 mortality rate is a sign of a critical situation in the health care system in Indonesia, particularly in managing Covid-19 patients.
