ABSTRACT

Society consists of various races, ethnicities, religions including cultures so that people have different traditions. If it is connected with the current Covid-19 incident, judging from the differences in the traditions or habits of the community, it certainly brings up a diversity of behavior. Such as the behavior of the lack of public awareness in using masks, keeping a distance, and washing hands. Even though this problem has been determined by the government and set as a health protocol that must be obeyed by all levels of society. Providing education to the public is the most effective way, where the purpose of community activities is to understand education about health protocols to avoid the transmission of COVID-19.
