Abstract

Health issues are one of the important things to consider for the survival of each individual. The world is now faced with the emergence of a new virus that spreads rapidly and greatly disrupts the continuity of life globally. At the end of 2019, a new virus was found in China, precisely in Wuhan Province. In 2020, WHO declared Covid-19 (Coronavirus Deseases 2019) as a pandemic so that new regulations were created to prevent the spread of this virus because it is transmitted from human to human. The incidence of Covid-19 continues to increase.  It is necessary to increase 5M preparedness to break the transmission of Covid-19. Several studies have revealed that health education with audiovisual educational media is effective in improving community preparedness during the Covid-19 pandemic.
