Some of the areas outside Java with the highest inpatient use include Pontianak City, Bangka Regency, and Palangkaraya City, with inpatient use of 1.19 patients per 100,000 population/week, 1.16 patients per 100,000 population/week, and 1 patient per 100,000 population/week, 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.
