Some of the areas outside Java with the highest seven-day positivity rates include Denpasar, Banjarmasin, and Pematangsiantar, with seven-day positivity rates of 7.15 percent, 6.72 percent, and 6.46 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.
