The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 54 regencies/cities with weekly tracing rates above the national average, currently recorded at 1.34 percent as of Sunday, May 8, 2022.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 21 percent are Hulu Sungai Selatan (40 percent), Semarang City (32.33 percent), Simalungun (25 percent), Banyuwangi (21 percent), and Mojokerto City (21 percent).

A national Covid-19 data recapitulation from the Ministry of Health shows an increase in tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java. Daily tracing figures higher than before were recorded in two regencies/cities, while one regency/city recorded lower tracing rates.

Areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Hulu Sungai Selatan (40 percent), Simalungun (25 percent), and Mataram City (20 percent).

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 distancing, and frequently washing hands with soap and running water. Avoiding crowds and reducing mobility also contribute to suppressing the spread of the coronavirus.
