The regulation concerning PPKM Level 3, 2, and 1 in Java and Bali regions states that the determination of the regional level will be regulated by indicators set by the Health Ministry for adjusting public health efforts and social restrictions for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is also added with indicators of total achievement of dose 1 (first dose) vaccination and dose 1 vaccination for seniors over 60 years of age from the vaccination target," the regulation stated.
The PPKM level of a district or city will reduce from level 3 to level 2 if it successfully achieves 50 percent of its vaccination target and provided the first dose to 40 percent of seniors aged over 60, as per the regulation.
The PPKM level will be lowered from level 2 to level 1 upon reaching 70 percent first dose vaccination coverage and administering the first dose to a minimum of 60 percent of seniors aged over 60, it added.
