Abstract
Introduction: COVID-19 is a virus that can be transmitted from human to human (human to human transmission). This virus has spread widely in China and even to other countries. This virus can spread because of the travel history of people who have been infected with the corona virus. The increase in COVID-19 in Indonesia is also based on the lack of public knowledge about COVID-19. The existence of correct information can help people to increase their knowledge. Misinformation can make people's understanding also change. Therefore, the level of community knowledge greatly influences people's behavior. Behavior is an action that can also be interpreted as all activities carried out by someone which is the result of external stimuli that explain the knowledge they have. Community behavior in preventing COVID-19 can help reduce the increase in the incidence of COVID-19.
