A recapitulation of national Covid data from the Ministry of Health shows that tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java has decreased. Zero regencies/cities recorded higher daily tracing rates than before, and three regencies/cities recorded lower tracing rates.

Some of the areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Balikpapan City, Kampar, and Palangkaraya City, with tracing rates of 15 percent, 14 percent, and 4 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.
