Through this Twitter, a data acquisition process will be carried out to obtain data related to COVID19 which will then be carried out a sentiment analysis using the Naïve Bayes method so that the results of the public reaction sentiment will be obtained. The experimental result shows that prediction accuracy was 0,86. Furthermore, the results of the Recall was 0,687, the precision was 0,827 and the F-Score was 0.749
