Currently, 396 infected patients are undergoing treatment at the Galang Islands Hospital for Infectious Disease.

From April 12, 2020, to September 1, 2021, the Galang Islands Hospital for Infectious Disease recorded a total of 15,938 patients, with 15,568 outpatients comprising 42 patients referred to other hospitals, 8,229 patients that made a recovery, and 7,297 patients having completed treatment.

This is one of the several good tidings of the pandemic situation. Several regions have currently downgraded the level of community activities restriction policy on account of a smaller number of people contracting COVID-19. The situation has returned to normal to some extent now, as some leeway, such as limited face-to-face learning and mall reopenings, were observed.
