- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded a national average hospital bed occupancy rate (BOR) of 3.98% for referral hospitals handling Covid-19 as of Saturday, January 8, 2022.
Jakarta became the province with the highest hospital BOR at 16%. However, this percentage is still below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of 60%.
Yogyakarta and North Sulawesi followed, each with a 5% hospital BOR. Aceh and West Sulawesi were next, both with a 4% BOR. Following them were Bali, West Sumatra, and East Nusa Tenggara, each with a 3% hospital BOR.
The decrease in hospital BOR coincides with the declining trend of corona cases. Based on data from the Covid-19 Handling Task Force, active corona cases in Indonesia were recorded at 6,108 on Sunday, January 9, 2022.
However, the public is still urged to diligently implement the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. These health protocols are important to prevent the spread of corona.
