Community Perceptions, Attitudes and Behavior on The 3M Program to Avoid The Spread of Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic with its high existence and significant spread requires efforts to break the chain of distribution, including with 3M (washing hands, wearing masks and maintaining a distance). This study aims to examine the perceptions, attitudes and behavior of the community towards the implementation of the 3M program in avoiding the spread of covid-19 in Sutawinangun Village, Kedawung District, Cirebon Regency. Qualitative research was chosen as a method to explore and understand meanings ascribed to social or human problems, focusing on individual meanings, and translating the complexity of a problem. Descriptive data was developed from the results of obtaining a number of written and oral information from observations. After conducting the research, it can be concluded that after a member of the community was exposed and declared the red zone of Covid-19, then there was a plan to relocate Covid sufferers in Sutawinangun, just to grow awareness of implementing 3M. Community solidarity is an important factor as social capital to fight Covid-19. The community focuses on implementing 3M, a clean and healthy lifestyle and reducing crowd mobility in the community to avoid the virus.
