A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data from the Ministry of Health shows that contact tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java is declining. However, 100 regencies/cities recorded higher daily tracing rates than before, while 120 regencies/cities showed lower rates.

Some of the areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Mahakam Ulu (46 percent), West Lombok (33.78 percent), and Metro City (21.73 percent).

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.
