Abstract
The coronavirus outbreak from 2019 had a significant impact on all sectors in Indonesia, especially the education sector, which requires learning from home. It provides a change in students' learning style to make educators change online-based learning using various platforms, one of which is the Physics Virtual Lab (PVL). This application is in a simulation designed explicitly physics practicum, accessed using a mobile phone. This study aims to determine how effective the use of PVL in fulfilling practicum activities is in terms of perceptions and competencies of students' attitudes. The research method is descriptive research to obtain an overview of PVL applications in physics practicum using domestic used materials. The subjects in this study were students of the first-semester science education study program who took the Basic Physics course—collecting data using perception questionnaires and attitude assessment sheets. The average student perception score is 4.22. Then, the students' attitude competence results obtained an average score of 80.88 integrity; independence 74.89; confidence 75.17 and responsibility 84.89. It shows that the implementation of PVL builds students' integrity and responsibility.

This study aims to determine how effective the use of Physics Virtual Lab (PVL) is in fulfilling practical activities when viewed from student perceptions and student attitude competencies
We hope that students will remain motivated and enthusiastic in online learning using learning facilities (PVL) to continue learning and practicum activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. This type of research is descriptive research, a research method that describes phenomena/events that exist and take place at present or in the past. The researcher uses this type of research because it is not to test a hypothesis but rather to get an overview of the use of physics virtual lab applications in physics practicum using domestic materials
Summary
The outbreak of the coronavirus or commonly called Covid-19, at the end of 2019 shocked the whole world. A new type of virus was first discovered in Wuhan, which eventually spread to all corners except in Indonesia. In mid-March 2020, several major cities in Indonesia were infected with the Covid-19 virus. The virus continues to spread to the public. In early April, the government issued a policy to implement social distancing and lockdown in several areas such as Jakarta and Surabaya, which are the center points of the spread of the coronavirus in Indonesia. The government issued a decree instructing all educational institutions to conduct online learning
