39 COVID-19 hotspots detected in Indonesia in the last 24 hours (Friday, January 24, 2025)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 39 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is an increase of 11 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA accessed on Friday (24/1/2025) at 11:15 WIB. Of the 39 hotspots detected, 1 has a high confidence level and 38 are of medium scale.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The highest number of detected hotspots is in Southeast Sulawesi with 11 hotspots. Central Sulawesi is second with 8 hotspots, followed by Riau with 4 hotspots.

Three hotspots were detected in North Maluku, Banten also has 3 hotspots, while East Nusa Tenggara and East Kalimantan each have 2 detected hotspots.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings and do not represent the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in one area indicates forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
