The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health conducted a survey of 259 sub-district surveillance officers on September 10-11, 2020. This was done to evaluate contact tracing of positive COVID-19 cases in Indonesia.

The survey revealed that 86% of respondents still manually trace positive cases using pen and paper. Only 9% of respondents used a locally-made application. Meanwhile, 5% of respondents did not document their procedures.

The WHO emphasized the importance of developing a national-level electronic system for contact tracing. This is to ensure uniform monitoring and smooth inter-subdistrict coordination.

To curb the spread of the coronavirus, the government urges the public to diligently practice handwashing with soap, wearing masks, and maintaining physical distance, often referred to as the 3M movement. The latest data from the COVID-19 Task Force shows a total national positive case count of 311,176.
