Top 10 Regencies/Cities with the Highest National Tracing Rates (Thursday, February 23, 2023)

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 22 regencies/cities with weekly tracing rates above the national average, currently at 0.44 percent as of Thursday, February 23, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 15 percent are Surabaya City, West Jakarta City, East Jakarta City, Probolinggo City, and Sidoarjo Regency, with values of 30 percent, 19.6 percent, 18.82 percent, 16 percent, and 15 percent respectively.

A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data from the Ministry of Health shows that tracing rates in most regencies/cities outside Java have decreased. Zero regencies/cities recorded higher daily tracing rates than before, and one regency/city recorded a lower tracing rate.

Some of the regions outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Landak Regency, Makassar City, and Tarakan City, with tracing rates of four percent, two percent, and two 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.
