Therefore, it is necessary to have promotive and preventive efforts to prevent the spread and transmission. Pesantren efforts that are carried out to promote health in Islamic boarding schools include the development of Islamic boarding schools in the health sector to the formation of Poskestren (Pesantren Health Posts), because health is a problem that should not be underestimated but must really be a point that should be considered regularly.
