Meanwhile, all provinces on the island of Kalimantan have a D, all provinces in Sulawesi have a C, in Java, except for Jakarta, have a D, almost all provinces on the island of Sumatra have a D, Bali are D, NTB are D, NTT are C, Maluku and North Maluku. with a C value, West Papua a D value, and Papua a C value.

"Based on the recommendations we made earlier in the matrix, there are several regions that have entered category D and category E such as Jakarta. But some are still in C, meaning that BOR is not too (filled) and provincial control is still good," he explained.

The indicators for assessing the handling of a pandemic in each province are seen from the level of transmission rate, namely indicators of the number of cases, the presence of imported cases, the emergence of case clusters, to the transmission of cases on a community scale.

Then, the level of transmission rate is juxtaposed with the level of the provincial government response capacity in handling cases, namely testing, tracing, and treatment (3T).
