Abstract

ABSTRACT Various efforts have been made by the Indonesian government to reduce the number of positive cases of COVID-19 which is still growing. As a form of participation in preventing the spread of COVID-19, community service activities were carried out to increase public awareness during the pandemic about the importance of vaccination programs in preventing transmission and implementing health protocols and healthy lifestyles. Activities are packaged in the form of counseling and education through distributing brochures, masks, hand sanitizers to residents' homes with the help of several students. The target location is Jalan Haji Ridan RT01/RW01, Poris Plawad Indah Village, Cipondoh District, Tangerang City, Banten Province. From the Budi Luhur University campus, it is approximately 15-20 kilometers. The schedule of activities starts from June 24 to August 1, 2021. The method of implementing this community service activity applies the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) method, by filling out a questionnaire to get an assessment from the community of the activity implementers. The result of the assessment from the eyes of the community is 73 out of 100. This means that this activity is quite well received. During this pandemic period, it is possible to carry out community service without gathering residents and continuing to carry out health protocols, and can even play an active role in preventing the COVID-19 pandemic.
