One step to suppress the spread of COVID-19 is tracing. Ideally, tracing should be conducted on 30 close contacts of each positive case. However, KawalCOVID19 recorded Indonesia's tracing-isolation ratio (TIR) at only 1.48 as of Wednesday (January 13th).

Provinces with the highest TIR are West Kalimantan (7.13), Riau (6.19), Gorontalo (5.43), and East Kalimantan (4.58). Meanwhile, the TIR in the provinces on Java Island, which have the most coronavirus cases, is only around 1-3 people per positive case.

The effectiveness of tracing impacts the tracking of new COVID-19 cases. The more close contacts successfully traced, the higher the chance of discovering new cases and preventing transmission.

In addition to the inadequate 3T strategy (testing, tracing, treatment), the public needs to continue improving compliance with the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, washing hands with soap, and maintaining distance and avoiding crowds.
