JAKARTA, July 24 (Xinhua) - Indonesia's Health Ministry reported on Saturday that the coronavirus cases across the archipelago rose by 45,416 within the past 24 hours to 3,127,826 with the death toll adding by 1,415 to 82,013.
Additional 39,767 recovered patients were discharged from hospitals, raising the total number of recoveries from the pandemic in the Southeast Asian country to 2,471,678, according to the ministry.
The virus has spread to all the country's 34 provinces and the more transmissible virus Delta variant has contributed to the surges in COVID-19 cases in some of the country's regions.
The Southeast Asian nation is accelerating its massive vaccination program while maintaining restrictions on public mobility in several regions amid its deteriorating second COVID-19 wave.
The government considers relaxing the restrictions on Monday next week if coronavirus cases decrease significantly.
