The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 26 regencies/cities with weekly agglomeration tracing above the national average, currently recorded at 0.55 percent as of Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 15 percent are Surabaya City, Malang City, Jambi City, Garut, and Magetan, with values of 23.25 percent, 20 percent, 18 percent, 15 percent, and 15 percent respectively.

A recapitulation of national Covid data from the Ministry of Health shows that tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java has decreased. Daily tracing figures higher than previous days were recorded in one regency/city, while one regency/city recorded lower tracing.

Areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Jambi City, Balikpapan City, and Karimun, with tracing rates of 18 percent, 15 percent, and 7 percent respectively.

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, the government urges everyone to help reduce Covid-19 transmission by consistently wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and frequently washing hands with soap and running water. Avoiding crowds and reducing mobility also contribute to suppressing the spread of the coronavirus.
