JAKARTA (Jakarta Post): A study by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) has warned that the novel coronavirus pandemic in the country may reach its peak in the next three months, culminating to more than 106,000 cases by July, says Indonesia’s COVID-19 rapid response task force.

Task force chief Doni Monardo presented a study conducted by the spy agency during a meeting with House of Representatives Commission IX overseeing health care and manpower on Thursday.

Doni said the study might be accurate since BIN was close in its estimation of the number of people who would be infected with the disease by the end of March, following the government’s confirmation of the country’s first two positive cases on March 2. “As many as 50 cities and regencies across the country, particularly in Java, are at high risk, ” he added.

The provinces of Java now contain the majority of the country’s total infections, as combined cases from Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta and East Java totaled 1,519 as of Thursday.
