Areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include West Lombok, Jambi City, and North Tapanuli, with tracing rates of 28 percent, 15 percent, and 15 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.
