Indonesia Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) issued an Instruction Letter Number 53 of 2021 concerning the enforcement of social restrictions (PPKM) Level 3, Level 2 and Level 1 responding to Covid-19 in Java and Bali islands. This regulation is valid from 19 October until 1 November 2021.

Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, certain criteria cause an area to enter the level 2 category. The requirements are:

• The number of positive cases of Covid-19 is between 20 and less than 50 people per 100,000 population per week.
• The number of hospitalisations between 5 and less than 10 people per 100,000 population per week.
• The number of deaths is less than 2 people per 100,000 population in the area.

In the future, to be able to proceed from level-2 down to level-1, the percentage of 1-dose vaccine coverage must reach 70% of the total population in a particular area/region, and the elderly vaccination coverage must also at least reach 60%.
