Abstract

Community Service (PKM) carried out in this manuscript is the whole community. The virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mainly transmitted through droplets (saliva splashes) produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy and cannot stay in the air, so they quickly fall and stick to the floor or other surface. We can get infected when we breathe air that contains the virus if we are too close to people who are already infected with COVID-19 (WHO, 2020). As an effort to end the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVID-19 Handling Task Force invites all people to be at the forefront by implementing 3 steps (wearing masks, maintaining distance and washing hands.
