Zoning Color Descriptions

The government extended the implementation of restrictions on community activities until May 31, 2021. This regulation is carried out based on the latest information of Covid-19 transmission in the neighbourhood where they lived. It will show in a variety of colors, from green to red.

1. Green Zone

In this zone, there are no cases of Covid-19 in RT and RW. However, regular and periodic checks for Covid-19 cases are still in place with active surveillance.

1. Yellow Zone

There are one to two houses with positive cases of Covid-19 in the RT over the last seven days in this zone. The control of the territory in this zone is to find positive cases and tracing the contacts. After that, both the patient and close contact will undergo self-isolation and close supervision.

1. Orange Zone

There have been three to five houses in this zone with confirmed positive cases of Covid-19 over the last seven days. Regional control in this zone is similar to the yellow zone. However, there are additional restrictions on activities in non-essential public sector places such as houses of worship and children's playgrounds.

1. Red Zone

There have been more than five houses in the red zone confirmed positive cases of Covid-19 over the past seven days. This red zone control scenario is stricter, such as:

• Find positive cases of Covid-19 and do contact tracing;

• Restricting the activities of houses of worship with strict health protocols;
• Closing children's playgrounds and other public places except for essential sectors;
