The number of fatalities has reached 14,933, or 3.3 percent, which is higher than the 2.45 percent death rate recorded globally, he said.
Adisasmito urged citizens to observe the 56th National Health Day on November 12, 2020 by taking care of themselves, their families, and communities by continuing to maintain discipline in health protocol implementation in every activity.
