The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 30 regencies/cities with weekly tracing rates above the national average, currently recorded at 0.61 percent as of Monday, February 27, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 16 percent are Surabaya City, West Jakarta City, Malang City, East Jakarta City, and Deli Serdang Regency, with respective values of 25 percent, 21.33 percent, 21 percent, 18.46 percent, and 16 percent.

A national Covid-19 data recapitulation from the Ministry of Health shows an increase in tracing rates in most regencies/cities outside Java. Daily tracing rates higher than before were recorded in two regencies/cities, while one regency/city recorded a lower tracing rate.

Areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Deli Serdang Regency, Balikpapan City, and Badung Regency, with tracing rates of 16 percent, 15 percent, and 8 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.
