Edukasi Protokol Kesehatan dalam Masa Pandemi Covid-19 pada Anak Sekolah Dasar di Pesisir Pantai Payum Merauke

Abstract

Intensive socialization of health protocols was carried out by the government through various media, both printed and electronic, and even made visits to certain places using loudspeakers to stop the spread of COVID-19. However, this does not make most people comply with health protocols properly. This is not because they are stubborn or stubborn but because of their lack of understanding. Therefore, socialization is needed, which is a notification to apply health protocols and educational practices in preventing the transmission of COVID-19, including a clean way of life. This community service program aims to provide an understanding of health protocols as a new habit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The target of this activity is elementary school children who live in the coastal area of Payum Merauke. The method of implementing this activity is in the form of material lectures, questions and answers, and simulations. The results of the service show that children have understanding and skills in practicing health protocols such as how to use masks, maintain distance and wash hands properly and effectively. The percentage of children who can practice health protocols correctly is 89.28%. Likewise, the average percentage of the implementation of each activity reaches 92%. Understanding the health protocol can be hoped to become a new habit so that it can help them avoid transmission and the new cluster of covid-19.
