The Role of Tangguh Village in Overcoming the Covid-19 Disaster in Bondowoso Regency

Abstract

Covid-19 is a new virus that is starting to spread and infect all countries in the world, including Indonesia. This disease has many similarities with influenza in general so that special handling is needed to diagnose someone who is infected. The community can be declared infected after carrying out a number of lab tests such as Swab and Rapid. Until now, there has not been found a vaccine that can fight this virus. To reduce the number of victims of Covid 19, the East Java Regional Police initiated the Kampung Tangguh Semeru program. This article examines the phenomenon of this pandemic using a qualitative descriptive method as an effort to explore the broadest possible data through in-depth interviews with informants related to the Kampung Tangguh Semeru program. The location of this research was conducted in Koncer Kidul Village, Tenggarang District, Bondowoso Regency. The findings in the field are efforts to prevent the spread of this virus through healthy living habits, implementing social distancing, and creating a number of social programs that are considered capable of breaking the chain of covid-19 transmission. The success of the Kampung Tangguh Semeru program is a solid collaboration between the National Police, Village officials and the people of Koncer Bondowoso Village
