WHO (World Health Organization) again stated that the spread of the COVID-19 virus can be through the air or airborne.7 For this reason, the government has appealed to the public to take COVID-19 prevention through established health protocols. Until March 2, 2020, when the first positive case in Indonesia was confirmed, there was a change in the community in using social media to see the development of COVID-19.
