Central Java's Health Department detected one case of super flu, or influenza A H3N2 subclade K, in Semarang at the end of December 2025. Meanwhile, Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung confirmed 10 cases in West Java from August to November 2025, with one patient dying due to comorbidities. Health officials stress that this is not a new virus and the situation is under control.
West Java labor unions have rejected Governor Dedi Mulyadi's setting of the 2026 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) at Rp 2,317,601, deeming it far below living needs. They threaten massive demonstrations over the use of a mere 0.7 percent alpha index. The central government defends the calculation formula that factors in inflation and regional economic growth.

Following President Prabowo Subianto's signing of the national minimum wage regulation on December 16, 2025, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi will announce the provincial minimum wage (UMP) and regency/city minimum wages (UMK) for 2026 on December 24. Negotiations continue with unions pushing for higher increases to address disparities, while employers seek balance.
