The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) reported that the average bed occupancy rate (BOR) in national Covid-19 referral hospitals was 24% as of Friday, March 11, 2022.
This figure is lower than the national Covid-19 hospital BOR the previous week, which was 31%.
The Covid-19 hospital BOR in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) was recorded at 44%, the highest among other provinces.
Although quite high, the Covid-19 hospital BOR percentage in NTT is still below the standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO) of 60%.
After NTT, the Covid-19 hospital BOR in North Kalimantan reached 43%, Yogyakarta Special Region 41%, Central Sulawesi 36%, and Gorontalo 32%.
Although the Covid-19 hospital BOR shows a downward trend, the public is urged to remain disciplined in implementing the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. These health protocols are important to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus.
