“The government has decided that from August 24 to August 30, 2021, some regions can be lowered from level 4 to level 3,” Jokowi said via the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube show.
The decline in Covid-19 in a number of areas in Java-Bali caused the government to lower the status from level 4 to level 3.
As for several areas in Java-Bali, which fell to level 3, among others, the agglomeration of Jabodetabek, Greater Surabaya, and Greater Bandung.
