The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded an average hospital bed occupancy rate (BOR) of 4% in national Covid-19 referral hospitals as of Wednesday, April 13, 2022.
This figure is lower than the previous week's national Covid-19 hospital BOR of 6%.
Papua recorded the highest BOR at 9%, higher than other provinces.
However, even at its highest, Papua's Covid-19 hospital BOR remains below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of 60%.
Following Papua, South Kalimantan, Yogyakarta, West Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan tied for second highest with a 7% BOR.
Although Covid-19 cases are declining, the public is still urged to diligently follow health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. These protocols are crucial for preventing the spread of the Corona virus.
