ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 case was first discovered at the end of 2019 in The City of Wuhan China. The outbreak then quickly spread to various parts of the world and demanded the attention of the international community. Since Indonesia reported the first positive case of COVID-19, the number of cases escalating at a rapid pace. Jakarta and its neighboring cities had suffered from the diseases. As the epicenter of the cases have a large number of population, the aspect of population density was pointed out as a vital factor that accelerated the spread of the outbreak. This study aims to determine the relationship of population density with COVID-19 confirmed positive cases. The method used is a quantitative research and descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that there is a significant and linear correlation between population density and COVID-19 cases. In conclusion, the denser a population leads to a higher incidence rate of COVID-19 positive cases in the region.
