Top 10 Regencies/Cities with the Highest National Tracing Rates (Wednesday, January 4, 2023)

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 58 regencies/cities with weekly tracing rates above the national average, currently recorded at 1.25 percent as of Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 21.23 percent are Lombok Barat (26.33 percent), Surabaya City (26 percent), Simalungun (25 percent), Semarang City (25 percent), and East Jakarta City (21.23 percent).

A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data from the Ministry of Health shows that tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java has decreased. Daily tracing figures higher than previous days were recorded in two regencies/cities, while six regencies/cities recorded lower tracing rates.

Some of the areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Lombok Barat (26.33 percent), Simalungun (25 percent), and Bima (19 percent).

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.
