JAKARTA, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia has reported 75 cases of COVID-19 across the archipelago since early this year, local media reported Wednesday, citing the Ministry of Health.
The ministry's spokesperson Aji Muhawarman said that most of those infected have recovered, adding that two people were found infected last week.
The ministry has urged the public to remain vigilant and continue practicing COVID-19 prevention measures, including wearing face masks in public spaces and avoiding large gatherings.
It came amid a slight uptick in domestic infections and growing global concern over the spread of new subvariants.
"The Nimbus variant has not been found in Indonesia," said Muhawarman, referring to the variant that is reportedly derived from the highly virulent Omicron variant.
According to him, the COVID-19 variant, which was mostly found in Indonesia in April, is the LF.7 variant, which is currently driving surges in some countries.
No deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported in Indonesia since early this year. ■
