All Areas Outside Java and Bali Now Fall into Level-1 PPKM Category

Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto ("Coordinating Minister"), has confirmed that the Enforced Community Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") that are currently being applied across 386 cities/regencies outside of Java and Bali now fall into the Level-1 PPKM category. In this regard, the Coordinating Minister has stated that the current Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic situation in Indonesia is relatively low in comparison with other countries.
The Coordinating Minister went on to state that only three remaining provinces outside the islands of Java and Bali still have first-dose vaccination rates of below 70% of the population (e.g. Maluku, Papua and West Papua). Meanwhile, 18 other provinces still have second-dose vaccination rates that fall below 70% of the population, while 20 other provinces still have booster vaccination rates of below 30% of the population.
In addition, the Coordinating Minister has stated that the National COVID-19 Mitigation and Economic Recovery Program (Penanganan COVID-19 dan Pemulihan Ekonomi Nasional – "PCPEN") that has been implemented since 19 August 2022 has to date dispersed some Rp. 178 trillion in total funding, which has been utilized within the healthcare sector (e.g. patient claims, healthcare worker incentives, vaccine procurements and so forth), as well as within the public protection sector (e.g. the Family Hope Program [PKH], the grocery card program, directed financial aid [BLT] and so forth).
In terms of effecting an economic recovery within Indonesia, Rp. 60.4 trillion has already been disbursed and has been utilized in relation to several matters, including: 1) Labor-intensive activities; 2) Infrastructure and the establishment of greater levels of connectivity; 3) Tourism and creative economies; and so forth. Ultimately, the Minister has affirmed that the State Expenditure Budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara/APBN) is currently functioning as a shock absorber in terms of the impacts that are still being experienced in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and that the PCPEN is being implemented based on current circumstances. _(SETKAB)
