Many people were affected by the current pandemic situation, both in the economic, education and health sectors, some were successful and some needed help and strengthening. Concern among fellow community members is needed in dealing with this non-natural disaster. The higher education institutions are no exception, in this case the Padjadjaran University academic community, with its various resources, can play an important role in strengthening the ability of the community so that they can live life in the midst of this Cobid 19 pandemic. Various community service programs and activities can be integrated with learning and research. One of them is through student real work lectures (KKNM), although it is implemented virtually. Providing information and knowledge about healthy and clean lifestyles (PHBS) or the application of health protocols (prokes) to prevent the spread of Covid-19, is one form of efforts to strengthen community groups. Likewise, by dealing with the news situation about the pandemic clearly, and sorting out valid news so as not to disturb mental stability. This is also an aspect that needs to be strengthened, especially in the increasingly massive digital era and advances in information technology and the use of mass social media.
