Indonesia's COVID-19 Case Tracking Remains Suboptimal
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
The KawalCOVID19 initiative aims to trace 30 contacts for each positive coronavirus case. This figure is calculated from the ratio between the total number of people under surveillance (ODP) and positive cases, known as the Tracing-Isolation Ratio (RLI).
However, Indonesia is still far from achieving this target. The average number of contacts traced is only 2-3 per positive case as of Sunday (August 30th). Even among provincial capitals, the highest ratio is only around 14-15, in Pekanbaru and Serang.
Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya are even tracing only 1-3 contacts for each infected patient. Yet, these three are the capitals of provinces with the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia.
