- istimewa
VIVA – The government has extended public activity restrictions (PPKM) in areas outside Java and Bali until May 9, 2022, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto has informed.
"The government has decided to extend PPKM for another 14 days, starting from April 26 to May 9, 2022," Hartarto said in a written statement on Monday.
The enforcement of PPKM outside Java and Bali is based on the COVID-19 pandemic situation covering the number of positive cases, deaths, in patients, as well as the response capacity comprising testing, tracing, and treatment.
It is also based on the second dose vaccination rate of at least 45 percent and the first dose elderly vaccination rate of at least 60 percent.
PPKM in districts or cities that do not meet the threshold will be raised by one level, except districts or cities with a population of less than 200 thousand and confirmed cases of less than 2 out of every 100 thousand people.
Based on the evaluation of the COVID-19 situation, as of April 23, 2022, the number of active cases, deaths, and in-patients remained low at level 1 or the lowest level, with the positivity and mortality rates in 27 provinces outside Java and Bali staying at level 1.
However, 14 provinces have limited response capacity as the testing or tracing capacity falls in the category of "moderate" in 10 provinces and “sufficient" in 3 provinces.
Of the 386 districts or cities outside Java and Bali, as of April 26, 2022, the number of districts or cities with level 1 PPKM will rise to 131 from 84, while the number of districts or cities with level 2 PPKM will decline to 216 from 259, and the number of districts or cities whose PPKM level has dropped will reach 39 from 43.Â
Right now, no districts or cities are implementing level 4 PPK. (ant)
