YOGYAKARTA - The rules for imposing level 1 community activity restrictions (PPKM) have again been implemented by the Indonesian government. The government has set this policy to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases which have increased in recent times. There are 5,000 active COVID-19 cases in Java and Bali.
The PPKM level 1 policy is contained in the Minister of Home Affairs Number 47 of 2022 for the Java and Bali regions. The restrictions are valid from 8-21 November 2022. Areas outside Java and Bali also apply PPKM level 1 according to the Minister of Home Affairs Number 48 of 2022 which is valid until December 5.
The increase in COVID-19 cases is said to be caused by the XBB Omicron Subvariant. However, some experts say that the distribution of these variants in Indonesia is still relatively low. Meanwhile, Safrizal, Director General of Regional Administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs, assessed the soaring number of COVID-19 cases due to the loosening public awareness in implementing health protocols.
