The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 34 regencies/cities with weekly tracing rates above the national average, currently recorded at 0.8 percent as of Thursday, February 2, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with rates exceeding 20 percent are West Lombok (26.67 percent), Surabaya (25.25 percent), Semarang (22 percent), Banyumas (20 percent), and Pangandaran (20 percent).

A recapitulation of national Covid-19 data from the Ministry of Health shows that tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java has decreased. Three regencies/cities recorded higher daily tracing rates than before, while six regencies/cities recorded lower rates.

Areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include West Lombok (26.67 percent), Karimun (20 percent), and Balikpapan (15 percent).

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, the government urges everyone to help reduce 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.
