But even though Jakarta seems to have flattened the curve of the virus, other parts of Indonesia, a vast archipelago nation of more than 270 million people, are still seeing their curves rise, due largely to people traveling to these places from the capital. East Java province — which, like Jakarta, is on Java island — has had the second-most confirmed cases in Indonesia, at over 6,500, including more than 500 deaths, and the numbers are still rising there, according to the government’s COVID-19 Mitigation Task Force.“People from Jakarta traveled to East Java ... . That is why East Java suddenly became the next epicenter in Indonesia,” said Pratiwi Sudarmono, a microbiology professor at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta. “I am sure that after Ramadan, many people from East Java went back to Jakarta. This can cause a second wave in Jakarta.”
