JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartato said PPKM outside Java-Bali was extended for 17 days, from 7 to 23 December 2021.
"Especially outside Java-Bali, there will be an extension of the PPKM (starting) on December 7 to December 23, 2021," Airlangga said in a virtual press conference, Monday, December 6.
Then, it is planned that from December 24, 2021 to January 2, 2022, all regions will implement PPKM Level 3 to reduce the rate of transmission of COVID-19 throughout the Christmas and New Year holiday periods.
Thus, as many as 386 regencies/cities outside Java-Bali areas that are in PPKM Level 1 are 129 regions. This number has increased again from the previous 51 districts/cities.
Then, Level 2 in 193 regions, increased from the previous 175 districts/cities. Then Level 3 decreased from 160 to 64 districts/cities and there were no areas at Level 4.
"The extension of the PPKM is based on the level of assessment of the pandemic situation and takes into account the achievement of vaccination in districts/cities. Districts/cities with the achievement of the first dose of vaccination is still below 50 percent, the level will be increased by one level," explained Airlangga.
Furthermore, Airlangga also explained the development of COVID-19 in Indonesia. Active cases as of December 5 were 0.18 percent. This figure is below the global average of 7.91 percent.
Meanwhile, the average daily case in the last 7 days was 250 cases. Then, the case reproduction rate in all regions is below 1.
"So, all islands have a reproductive rate below 1. The downward trend outside Java-Bali and Java-Bali has consistently fallen," he said.
