Sorting out the nomenclature...
Clarifying Indonesian placenames -- the administrative hierarchy seems to be (with common abbreviations in parentheses):
Regency / Kabupaten (Kab.)
Sub-districts / Kecamatan (Kec.)
Villages / Desa
Hamlets / Kampung (Kp.)
A common way that a location might be written with abbreviations in an Indonesian newspaper (this is how Euis Lina's location was written):
Kp./Desa Cigadog, Kec. Cikelet, Kab. Garut
In other words:
Kampung/Desa Cigadog, Kecamatan Cikelet, Kabupaten Garut
Or:
Hamlet/Village Cigadog (because both the hamlet & village are named Cigadog), Sub-district Cikelet, Garut Regency
*****
Garut Regency:
45 Kecamatan / Sub-disctricts [only 31 on the map I've been referring to here -- I can't explain the discrepancy]:
Balubur Limbangan, Banjarwangi, Banyuresmi, Bayongbong, Blubur Limbangan, Buangbulang, Bungbulang, Caringin, Cibalong, Cibatu, Cibiuk, Cigedug, Cigedung, Cihurip, Cikajang, Cikelet, Cilawu, Cisewu, Cisompet, Cisompret, Cisurupan, Garut, Kadungora, Karangpawitan, Karangtengah, Kersamanah, Leles, Leuwigoong, Malangbong, Mekarmukti, Pakenjeng, Pameungpeuk, Pamulihan, Pasirwangi, Peundeuy, Samarang, Selaawi, Semarang, Singajaya, Sukaresmi, Sukawening, Talegong, Tarogong Kaler, Tarogong Kidul, Wanaraja
So, for Cikelet, the administrative hierarchy is:
Regency / Kapupaten (Kab.): Garut
Sub-district / Kecamatan (Kec.): Cikelet
Village / Desa (7 altogether in Cikelet sub-district): Cikelet, Linggamanik, Kertamukti, Cigadog, Pamalayan, Karangsari and Cijambe
Hamlets / Kampung (Kp.): Numerous. Some of the ones we've heard of in Cikelet village are - Cibeunteur, Jojok/Jojoh, Pasir Maja, Rancamareme, Rancasalak, Sawah Bera and Tipar [hat-tip, LaidbackAl!].
So far, all of the cases have been from various hamlets in Cikelet village, Cikelet sub-district. There are reports that Euis Lina was actually from Cigadog hamlet, Cigadog village, Cikelet sub-district.
And, the latest patient, Gilang, is being treated in a different sub-district altogether, Pameungpeuk, although that might be where the nearest clinic/hospital is since Umar is reported to go there for follow-up treatments/check-ups. Gilang may prove to be from Cikelet.
*Whew!*
