Before carrying out this activity, disinfection activities on public facilities are routinely carried out to prevent the spread of Covid-19, some assistance from the government was also handed over in both basic food packages and cash was also handed over, then activities were continued with the distribution of masks, sticking up educational posters, socializing PHBS, at this time also available handwashing tools and soap in every public facility, downstream at this time the community is accustomed to maintaining hygiene and routinely using masks when traveling.

Until now, the masks that were handed over were more than 2000 pieces of masks which will be resumed at a later stage along with several other activities to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
