From the results of the assessment that has been carried out, the results show that prior to education on the prevention of COVID-19, the public's understanding of the importance of preventing the transmission of COVID-19 is still lacking, even some people do not know that wearing a mask can prevent transmission and after education is carried out on the prevention of COVID-19 the community began to realize and understand that prevention can be done by using a mask.
