The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 26 regencies/cities with weekly agglomeration tracing above the national average, currently recorded at 0.53 percent as of Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 15.5 percent are Surabaya City, Sidoarjo, Pasuruan City, Garut, and Balikpapan City, with values of 25.71 percent, 25.71 percent, 21 percent, 16 percent, and 15.5 percent respectively.

A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data 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.

Areas outside Java with the highest tracing values include Balikpapan City, Kampar, and Karangasem, with tracing rates of 15.5 percent, 14 percent, and 3 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.
