Contact Tracing Ratio in COVID-19 Handling Remains Low
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Efforts to suppress the transmission rate of COVID-19 can be done through *tracing, testing*, and *treatment*. One element in measuring *tracing* or contact tracing is the Isolation Tracing Ratio (ITR). The average ITR in Indonesia is still 15.1 points. This figure is still below the standard recommended by KawalCovid19. At least, a region should have a minimum ITR of 25 points.
The highest Isolation Tracing Ratio (ITR) comes from Riau. The province has a ratio of up to 320.24 points. West Kalimantan follows with 28.79 points, a drastic decrease compared to Riau. North Sulawesi has the lowest ITR, at only 0.12 points.
Contact *tracing* is determined by its reach to individuals who have been in contact with positive patients, individuals who have recently arrived from affected areas, and individuals exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. The comparison of the number of people traced and isolated to the number of positive cases will yield the Isolation Tracing Ratio (ITR). The higher the ITR, the lower the mortality rate in a region.
