The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 24 regencies/cities with weekly agglomeration tracing above the national average, currently recorded at 0.51 percent as of Monday, March 27, 2023.

The top five regencies/cities with tracing rates exceeding 15 percent are Surabaya City, Sidoarjo, Sukabumi City, Garut, and Banyuwangi, with values of 27.44 percent, 27.44 percent, 19 percent, 16 percent, and 15 percent respectively.

A recapitulation of national Covid data from the Ministry of Health shows a decrease in tracing in most regencies/cities outside Java. No regencies/cities recorded higher daily tracing figures than previously.

Some of the areas outside Java with the highest tracing rates include Balikpapan City, Kampar, and Makassar City, with tracing rates of 15 percent, 14 percent, and 2 percent respectively.

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, 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.
