All regions in Indonesia are at risk of contracting dengue disease, because the virus that causes and mosquitoes has spread widely in residential and public places in Indonesia. Penjaringan District North Jakarta City has 70% densely populated residential areas, so it has a risk for dengue disease transmission.
