Indonesia experienced a third wave of Covid-19 in early February 2022. The transmission rate of the coronavirus increased due to the Omicron variant. As a result, public mobility, which had previously increased, declined again, according to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

This is evident in the average movement of people to trade and retail locations, which fell from 7.45% in January 2022 to 3.82% in February 2022, compared to normal conditions before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, public mobility to places for purchasing daily necessities was 25.75%. Previously, public movement to this sector had surged dramatically in December 2021 and January 2022, reaching 29.29% and 27.55%, respectively, compared to normal conditions.

Public movement to parks, workplaces, and transit points also decreased compared to the previous month. The changes in mobility were recorded at 7.39%, -6.57%, and -23.18%, respectively, compared to normal conditions.

Meanwhile, public mobility at home increased. Movement to this sector rose from 5.26% in January 2022 to 9.68% in February 2022 compared to normal conditions.

BPS Head Margo Yuwono stated that these population mobility movements will significantly impact economic and social activities, including the country's exports and imports, and even worker wages.
