The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 160 districts/cities with a weekly Covid-19 positive confirmation rate above the national average, currently recorded at 1.07 per 100,000 population/week (data as of Wednesday, December 28, 2022).

The top five districts/cities with positive confirmation rates exceeding 8.57 per 100,000 population/week are Balangan (15.6 per 100,000 population/week), Belitung (14.58 per 100,000 population/week), Gayo Lues (10.4 per 100,000 population/week), Boven Digoel (9.84 per 100,000 population/week), and Mimika (8.57 per 100,000 population/week).

A national Covid-19 data recapitulation from the Ministry of Health shows a decrease in positive confirmations in most districts/cities outside Java. Daily positive confirmations higher than previous days were recorded in 44 districts/cities, while 90 districts/cities recorded lower positive confirmations.

Areas outside Java with the highest positive confirmation rates include Balangan (15.6 per 100,000 population/week), Belitung (14.58 per 100,000 population/week), and Gayo Lues (10.4 per 100,000 population/week).

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, the government urges everyone to help reduce Covid-19 transmission by consistently wearing masks, maintaining distance, and frequently washing hands with soap and running water. Avoiding crowds and reducing mobility also contribute to suppressing the spread of the coronavirus.
