The regulation is based on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs (Inmendagri) number 35 regarding PPKM on Covid-19 conditions in Java and Bali which is valid until August 1, 2022. The regulation has also been signed by the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian on July 5, 2022.

The determination of the regional level, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs, is guided by the community transmission indicator on the indicators for adjusting public health efforts and social restrictions in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic set by the health minister.
